11 MAR 05 CLEVER LITTLE SHIPPERS AINT THEY

We bought this bird feeder with the idea that the lever on which the birds perched would serve as a barrier to heavier birds and to squirrels . . . .

It doesn't . . . . on either account
They always find a way to get in



and a few more gymnastics here

I've been watching squirrels for over 20 years, and your shot of the squirrel reaching into the feeder is one of the best I've ever seen.

If somebody asked me what a POD was, and what kind of pics it contained, I would have to send them here. A very interesting collection of daily shot which I totally enjoyed.
Doesn't this hurt his finger nails to hang upside down like this. I tried it once, it didnt work.
Kind Regards
