nutsaboutnature, The squirrels and birds come in waves here too, I figure the groundfeeders get enough food with the seeds that get dropped, I surely do not encourage squirrels or other animals to be here, Love all nature, But, I live in a tight area of many homes now and people around here wouldn't appreciate my encouraging any other wildlife besides birds. I still get groundfeeding birds because of the dropped seeds, I was thinking of making a groundfeeder for them, but, Then again, I think it would add to the squirrel problem so I'm going to pass on it. Your lucky you live in an area that enables you the joy of so many.

irisMA, We have long white tubing on our feeder pole, The squirrels have a real hard time getting to the feeders with it, They make it once in a blue moon, But, Not often at all. We also put this tubing on our bluebird houses, It really helps so that the snakes and chippies can't climb the pole and get to the babies.

JulieQ, I really like the picture with the snow and so many finches!

Lily_love, nice pic of the mockingbird


adelbertcat, Enjoyed the pic's of the scrubjay, I think they are such pretty birds!

JulieQ, Enjoyed the pics, If the WW's are in your area they should be to mine sometime soon, I really look forward to seeing them again!!
