Hi:
We were surprised to see a Hermit Thrush checking out the area under our fe=
eders last evening. They are often sighted in the woodland behind our home=
but not this time of year.
After looking at the photo of the feeder enclosure that Eleanor Lindsay had=
sent us I bought some wire fencing with 2"X2" openings. It is galvanized. =
Purchased from the Middleton Family Grocery and Feed Store. I had hoped for=
1.5" openings but it is not available. I checked with Halifax fencing deal=
ers too and couldn't find anything smaller that the 2X2 openings.
Our black-oil feeder has 3 concentric tubes=2C 12 openings/perches. I was a=
ble to neatly wrap the 3 tubes with less than $5 worth of wire.=20
So far this has slowed the BJs considerably=2C they are unable to perch com=
fortably on the wire enclosure so quickly take a couple of seeds and leave!=
More important the goldfinch=2C chickadee=2C nuthatches transit comfortabl=
y to the feeder=2C seemingly=2C ignoring the wire. We have only had a coupl=
e of hours of seeing this reduced BJ activity=2C it will be interesting to =
see what clever "work-around" the blue pigs are able to come up with.
They continue to dominate our suet feeders.
Cheers=2C Barbara and Pat
