What the bird feeding area looks like.

They had to put some inverted trash cans over the poles holding up the feeder line because the raccoons were climbing up the poles and knocking down all the feeders. Guess they like peanut butter too :o) But the inverted trash cans has so far put an end to their raids.

Off to the right side is another smaller inverted trash can and a flat feeding tray that holds grapes and other fruits. The woodpeckers, chachalacas, greenjays and other birds also frequented that until it was empty.

There are also several bird baths with water drip hoses to keep them filled. Good thing too because you could see the birds going for a drink after getting a beakful of peanut butter!!! It was funny to watch but they kept hitting up the peanut butter feeders. I had no idea so many birds (and raccoons) liked peanut butter.

Ah...and there are plenty of places for birds to perch on. Lots of the smaller birds liked to go into that pile of branches to look for bugs and other insects.
