Where are you guys placing your feeders? I'd like to put mine near or on the deck, but am concerned about the squirrels.

If your feeder is around your railing height or lower, I would moved it at least 6' away from the railing. If Squirrels are making suicide leaps at that length, keep moving. You'll know quickly. Just experiment and buy a squirrel baffle so they won't get you from below either. |

5 bluejays and a common grackle decided to show up today.
The resident red bellied woodpecker sent them packing off the feeder.

Grackles aren't a problem here (anymore... they were coming in in droves)
We've got a couple hawks that have decided my yard is a good place to get lunch.
Bluejays, finches, woodpeckers don't seem to be bothered by the hawks though?

What a horrible Spring for the birds.But then again our household is in complete disarray after the last week and the feeders really haven't been a priority.
Lotsa grackles sh!!ting on everything and of course robins but until we get are sh!t taken care of those are all I expect.
