Some Disassembly Required

The first weekend of the month was warm and pleasant, giving me at long last the opportunity to do some work on the main feeder station here at Cary BirdCam. I expanded the topmost arms another two feet each, allowing me to spread the feeders out a little more (things were noticeably crowded about the central post this winter.) And I had the opportunity to break out the Krylon and repaint the superstructure. My next project is to reseat the entire “tree” in a concrete base. Unfortunately over time the increasingly heavy feeder station—now boasting thirteen feeders, six weather domes, and a few additional attachments-- has sunk deeper into the ground (and this is heavy Carolina clay that we’re talking about!) This all has been an ongoing construction project for four years and think I am beginning to see the end. After this? We shall see.
