I'll go ahead and post another bird feeding photo - this one of our new setup with the three feeders together. The tube feeder at the top has the nyjer seed in it and it's for the goldfinches. The white hanging feeder has the sunflower seeds in it. It closes when something heavy gets on the perch. Almost all of the birds like the sunflower seeds. Most of them also like the safflower seeds that are in the wooden platform feeder. The squirrels don't like the safflower and using them has been successful in keeping Morris out of that feeder. He's tried hard to get to the seeds in the other two feeders but has finally given up. I put another mix in another feeder. It does have some sunflower in it and Morris gets his little bit out of that one snd then he's gone for the day. The picture posted has about 12-15 birds in it. There were more around outside of the camera lens area. Twenty or so is common and we often have a lot more. There are 5-6 ground feeder species that don't go to the feeders but come around frequently.
Watch for future posts about other subjects - like the "Orange Trail":)
