It strikes me how I enjoy observing all the creatures, even starlings and squirrels, as long as they follow *my* program.
Last winter I often had yellow-shafted flickers on the ground in the yard - never at the feeders. Had an eruption of ant colonies last year that apparently drew the flickers. They must have done a good job at organic pest control because I have significantly fewer big ant colonies in the yard now, and nary a flicker have I spied.
Has anyone experience with Roller Feeder squirrel proof feeders?
