I know you guys just moved and it looks like, from your photo, that you have a wooded area adjacent to your yard? If you have any landscaping, I definitely recommend adding native plants. Doing this and putting down leaf litter in the fall has helped us attract tons more birds. Oh, and definitely a bird bath or pond! Have you seen those NWF photos of someone with a pond in New Mexico? They attract all kinds of animals including a bear! But one of the best photos was the owl in the pond - using it like a bird bath. Check out all the photos here: http://blog.nwf.org/2013/06/mountain-lion-seeks-backyard-oasis/<br /><br />Finally, we use this feeder (a classic and a peanut feeder) and the squirrels absolutely cannot get to it. I could go on for hours but I'll stop now .... :)<br />Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-42314103681112638482014-04-18T22:10:35.527-03:002014-04-18T22:10:35.527-03:00I can pick up a baffle and pole for you here. just...I can pick up a baffle and pole for you here. just let me know.
