This is a continuation of the saga of the fabulous bird feeder.
It was very, very windy all night last night but the bird feeder which my wonder spouse installed survived the night. I'm really glad he installed it yesterday when the high temperature was near 60 degrees. Today the high was 21 with a wind chill feels like temperature of 4.
Nevertheless, when we got to the kitchen table (our bird watching spot) this morning there were several birds feasting at our original bird feeders including two beautiful blue birds (first timers).
However, the only thing feasting at our new wonderful smart bird feeder with camera
was a large squirrel.
My west coast brother, who sympathizes with our plight, has suggested that perhaps a small electric fence charger around the pole might be a deterrent. He could be right but I really don't want dead squirrels lying around if we get the charge wrong. Of course my spouse is an EE so he can do it if anyone can.
Maybe tomorrow the bird feeder camera will send us a picture of an actual bird???? Meanwhile I will try to think of something else to blog about.
