@Mom45 - Awesome! What did you use for your baffle - just sheet metal cut and shaped into a cone?
I was referring to other INGO members when I said "what I see around here." Sorry for the confusion.What container do you use to feed grape jelly? What kind of fruit? Fresh, dried?
I've had to start bringing the feeders in every night...I have to make sure I get them brought in before the sun goes down because the buttheads don't waste any time!
During the day I also have lots of Grackles and now starlings at the feeder bullying the other birds. Considering an air rifle to take care of them they're so obnoxious.
good to hear they were able to survive the cold snap! I didn't see any today, but I was mostly in the garage cleaning up some rifles i shot last weekend.
are you in northern IN?
And now I DO have Scarlet Tanagers. I wonder if the all red is a juvenile. It has just a hint of black under or at the back of it's flight feathers.I have goofed. It is not Scarlet Tanagers that I am seeing but Summer Tanagers. I was just looking out again and the female was out there as well, olive/yellowish which caused me to pull out the book again to check. The Scarlet has black wings and what I have here does not.
And had to put out another block of suet. Hungry buggers.
