Took a break from house repairs today and had a simply fun time for about an hour.

I noticed my wife had a bowl on the picnic table with birdseed, so I made something a little more permanent.

Squirrels will be there shortly

No squirrels here Lew. We do have rats!

Same difference except for the tail

I remember well that @Gene Howe described squirrels as just rats with bushy tails.

Speaking of ol Gene, sure miss him!

Pick your rodent! 🙂

I was thinking the same as Lew Wife had some plastic feeders stuck onto our windows until she saw a huge RAT in one.

Maybe I'll move it over to here.

Coaxing the rats closer to the house may not be what Mrs. Morris has in mind

Ok, I'm done! Can't win. I already moved it to that location. I'll just have to leave our German Shepherd out all night to keep the critters away. 😆

Yummy! Birdseed. Our favorite.

Nicely done for a feeder. My grandfather spent a year or two chasing the perfect bird feeder design when he retired. Greased the pole, added a free spinning cone cap, etc.. The story he would tell was that he never won. If there was bird feed out there something other than birds always found a way to get at it.
