Pat--

My feeders are all under mu patio roof--always safe from weather or hawks--
not that i have ever seen too many Hawks around here.

For the ground feeders-besides all the seed I throw on the floor, I also have a
16" wide saucer under one of the chairs for birdies that prefer more private pecking...
Of course-squirrels also go picking out all the Sunflower seeds from the saucer and the floor.
Believe me--they are not starving...
I don't have too many squirrels around here. The most i have seen at one time are 5.

I have a 20lb bag of mixed seed I am working on--got it at BJ's (like a Costco).
It is very heavy on S-seeds in the mix. I also bought a 10lb. bag of S-seeds at Wallmart.
Almost forgot I have that....Need to put that out somewhere else for the squirrels.

I have yet to see a Jay. Wonder why????

Here is a decent view of my patio. This is from 2011. Nothing ever changes there....
