Repairs on the feeder!




Category: Bird Brain Blog | Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 8:03 pm

My feeder hangs from a wire clothes line between 2 trees. I have a large squirrel baffle and then the feeder hangs from it. The baffle keeps a lot of the rain and most of the snow out of the feeder.

With the ice storms we have had the past 2 days, the wight of the ice on the baffle had lowered the feeder to within jumping range of Jumper the squirrel. So I went out and tightened the clothes line up so its back up to 6 ft. off the ground again. It had about an inch of ice on it.
