I seem to mostly end up feeding squirrels and raccoons. Damn bandits actually stole my whole suet cage. Pretty astounded I was.

For anti-squirrel feeder:
Brome Squirrel Buster Classic. Not cheap at about 70 bucks. Mine is 8 years old and has withstood bears, deer and countless gray and red squirrels. It works. It has gotten to the point that my gray squirrels have given up completely and just content themselves to pick up stray seeds that the birds drop under the feeder.

Interesting. I wonder if anyone's thought of something like that when it comes to heat and energy management for water flow in buildings and pipes in freezing weather? Not the network necessarily, but staying just above freezing.

While surveying back in the 80s, I came across a meadowlark with it's feet frozen to the top wire of a barbed wire fence. It was super early morning.

I set up my instruments a few feet away and about an hour later the sun melted the ice and it flew away.
