20210201 9018 SERIES - Backyard.jpg

Two backyard images.

Top Image: A nice scene to wake up to on a snowy-frosty morning. Note, my bird feeders on the lower-mid left. For years I've had a constant battle with Squirrels getting onto my feeders then suspended from a wire strung between the two tall spruce trees on the right. The squirrels always eventually won.


A close-up of my, so far, squirrel-proof birdfeeder. I've had this configuration for several months now and seem to have finally got the upper hand - no squirrels on the feeders so far.

I'd love to watch your squirrels trying to get up that stove pipe feeder pole - - nicely constructed for sure!

So beautiful, a true winter wonderland. Have to laugh about your squirrels, they always seem to win! We encased our wooden post in the same metal sleeve, but the occasional brave squirrel makes a daring leap upwards and lands. I think ours may be lower than yours, so it is not as far to jump to from the ground. It is quite feeding station, by the way. Nice.

Nice Winter captures. A slippery solution for your squirrel issues.

Seems squirrels, especially the reds, are always winning.

I too have spent many hours I’ll never get back trying to outwit squirrels. Finally spent the big $ and now get to watch the squirrels get “baffled”. Your system looks great and you probably saved money.

I do have a similar setting against squirrels and it is working very nicely :))

your defense against squirrels look like mine, at least they can get
the falling ones!

Dat ziet er koud uit Hank, maar de vogels zijn goed verzorgd.

delighted to see the wider view of the yard...with so much snow there must be many attractive scenes to capture in your area...good luck with the squirrels..

Such a lovely scene to look out on, and congratulations on the new bird feeder. Looks like there's a disappointed squirrel on the fence.
