Squirrel in the Bird Feeder

Last month, I mentioned our Bird Feeder has been doing a land-office business, providing cold-weather sustenance to a huge variety of birds.

I didn’t think it was possible – the feeder is six feet above ground suspended from a pole made of 3/4 inch galvanized pipe – but it is now providing food for the squirrels, too.  Or maybe it’s just one squirrel that I’ve now seen on several occasions.

I tried lubricating the pole with canola oil, but if it worked at all, it only lasted until the first time it rained.

I’m thinking of trying this next..
