...solitary Eastern phoebe...
...and wet and lonely robin!
Not to mention this "boy are you in the wrong place buddy!" red squirrel!
Business at the feeder was brisk during our recent snowstorm. Many of the early migrants are in need of a good feed after a long flight and it doesn't look as though they will get much for at least a few days here in the Lanark Highland!

AWww, love those red squirrels, though they can be little devils, they are oh so cute!
i read somewhere (maybe mother earth news?) that if you mix xome red cayanne pepper in with your bird seed, it deters the squirrels...but the birds aren't bothered by it...
i tried it and it did seem to work...just a suggestion, if you're looking to squirrel prrof the feeder to an extent... :-)
the best part is that it's earth-friendly!!...
Well written article.
