Speaking of new Sparrows... I finally managed to get some shots of an American Tree Sparrow!

One thing about bird feeders is that the snow under them looks HORRIBLE!

Anyone find a squirrel-proof whole peanut feeder? I'm not having any luck.

Baffles don't work in my setup. Was looking for one with a cage.

But I suppose anything that would let a blue jay in will also fit squirrels...

Maybe something with a wide and low roof like they make for meal worms. That would keep bluejays out also though.

The supports on my bird feeder pole broke in the strong winds that we had a few months ago. Then the snow came. I finally got it back up with the help of these new supports which worked like a charm.
