A Winter's Stash - wrecked

[7rider]

But how are they getting the peanuts in between the screen and window? Did the bird create the hole too?

There must be enough of a gap at the top of the window frame for the bird to have dropped it down into the hole. I don't think it occurred to the bird that it wouldn't be able to get the nuts OUT of the frame, however. A female cardinal discovered the stash on the ground at the base of the window this morning, so she had herself a nice breakfast!

Our feeders are on a shepard's hook that has a baffle on the pole that works great to keep the sqirrels out. But the messy sparrows toss enough seed to the ground to keep the squirrels filled with no effort on their part.

One feeder is seeds, and another is a peanut feeder so they always have plenty.
