Our bird feeder is up again in a new, improved location. Luckily, the whole crew is back at it like it was never taken down in the first place, red bellied woodpeckers, chickadees, juncos, blue jays cardinals, tufted titmice, sparrows, goldfinches and house finches they're all back.
For some reason the new location doesn't appeal to the squirrels other than for the random seeds spilled on the ground underneath it.
