There's one feeder on the main tree that has been rather neglected this winter. I mean to use it, but am only pulling the trigger very occasionally. Because of a major problem. You see, this would be the peanut butter feeder. And the problem is squirrels. I shielded the feeder--which otherwise works very well--with a steel cage and thanks to small physical quirks, the squirrels can get just close enough to lick up whatever peanut butter sits out there. I haven't solved the problem yet, but perhaps that answer will come to me in the right minute. That said, this is a food I really enjoy putting out as the birds go nuts for it, like this Brown Headed Nuthatch. Even the cheap stuff from a "big box retailer" makes them very happy. And this feeder is a good design. It comes highly recommended! When I do solve that problem...I will let you all know!
