Welcome LaLambchop, 33 is impressive!
Margaret, wow, love that bird. Sorry about the fence.

I rigged a squirrel baffle today for a feeder that was called "The Squirrel Stumper." It didn't stump the squirrels but it's a good clinging feeder. I also took a huge, heavy orchid out of the shed for the first time in a week. It has buds on it and two were opening. It's the first time that it has bloomed since I bought it years ago. I just went outside to discover that the squirrels chewed almost all the buds off. I'm so heartbroken. They didn't even eat them they just left them on the ground. They got me back good.

Here are a couple of girls enjoying the squirrel-free squirrel stumper. Female Cardinal and female Red-winged Blackbird.
