Yes, the kids came outside for a bit. Hamlet still doesn't know to stay on the deck. It's going to take a lot of, "Deck! Now!" and sticking him in the bedroom for 20 minutes to get the point across that we do not leave the deck.
I put up the bird feeders. The picture window is a good place.
I'm going to try moving it to the right on the window which should make it harder for squirrels to jump into.
I don't own a step ladder so I had to bring the full ladder to the front to mount this. I won't fill it completely. Let's see if this works. Now to put up the north window feeder.
This one had been hanging very tight to the glass so, obviously, the squirrels knocked it down. It took a bit to find all the suction cups in the winter debris. I washed the thing out and repositioned it.
This is more off to the right than it had been before. I think it might have been too close to the pine tree. We'll see how long it takes them to find it.
When I came in, after being outside for a couple of hours, stitching, this was the living room window.
I'm fairly certain this wasn't squirrels.
As much as I like this concept, I don't think this feeder is working anymore. I thought the suction cups had a good seal, but I'm not convinced they do. I've had this feeder for a long time. I think I should just add it to the give away bag and get a new one for this area. Maybe a pole with a hanging feeder would be better. I have plans for this flower bed. A pole would work better.
The temperatures go down from here to the next weekend when we're back to what would be considered 'normal' for us. I enjoyed my day out and so did the kids.

We are also having mild temps, but that means just above freezing ;)
ReplyDeleteWe might get some rain by mid week. Lately, Winter comes in February and makes up for an easy January :/
I like window feeders, but have not tried them.
So far the hanging ones work, but the squirrels like them too.
Oh well. Enjoy your day :)
