Day 5

This is one determined squirrel, he tried and tried to get up one of the poles with a feeder on it but couldn't reach them because of the ingenious squirrel guards I put up. (a gallon milk carton with the bottom cut out) It finally figured out there was a pole without a guard so it shimmied up the pole and from the top supermanned it on over to the top of another pole and promptly fell off. But after a couple more tries it finally hung on and managed to reach on over and have some munchies but finally gave up and ran away. It must have thought that it was way too much work for the little bit of food it was managing to get. I guess I am going to have to figure out how to make a new guard for the other pole, the war against the squirrels has begun.
