Bird Feeder

This is a little update on Bob's bird feeder that he built to keep the squirrels out.  I knew eventually the squirrels would take on the challenge and get into the feeder.  The smell of seeds finally got to them.  We got up one morning and there is the squirrel sucking up seeds as fast as he could.  "How did he get in?"  So we sat and watched a while and soon there was the squirrel.  He looked up and jumped over the can and went right up and fed. 

Next Bob wanted to put a cloth skirt on it.  I finally got a piece of material and he duct taped it on.  I knew they could climb right up that.  Yes, I love being right.  It must have been too late to come back out.  The next morning I had to break the bad news to him again.  Yes, the squirrel had returned!  He now knows he is defeated.  We are now looking for a gigantic garbage can lid. 

Oh, by the way, the squirrel is a female!
