do you have a hummingbird nectar setup in the summer?I've had multiple feeders for more than 25yrs.,the woodland birds really count on me and I find squirrels to be a 100% pain in the ass. They will eat all the suet that I wedge into a coffee can to discourage flocks of starlings setting up shop and mount the can on a tree as I have 3 kinds of woodpeckers visit my yard. Squirrels have also destroyed feeders and dug up bulbs, I'm not big on rodents.I have counted up to almost 20 cardinals at my feeders,along with chickadees and titmice whose energetic behavior is precious.All in all I find it soothing to have so many feathered friends find my yard to be a place they can count on year round for their survival,especially when snow cover limits their ability to forage.
