I'm really enjoying the bird feeders. Right now the finches are very active, sometimes up to 8 or more at a time. And occasionally, I get lucky and capture a story-telling image.
@joansmor We've not seen any squirrels yet, so hoping these are high enough. And amazingly, the little birds fly in and out easily (like finches, sparrows, etc.) while bigger ones can't get in to either eat the seeds or harm the little ones while they are eating. We have a cactus wren that is very annoying but that's the worst of it so far, and that one stays mostly on the round one to the left of the one pictured.
@jgpittenger Thanks! We bought two that are made locally by a guy here in Tucson. The other uses the same caging but it's a cylinder. It's amazing to watch the little birds flying in and out and the larger ones (like a cactus wren) not able to steal all their food!
Magnificent shot. I like the look of your bird feeder - currently looking at what's available here, but have not seen one like that, although we don't have squirrels etc here

This is where I bought the bird feeder: https://wildbirdsonline.com/
It's a birding store in Tucson and one of the people there - may be one of the owners - makes the birdhouses by hand. I noticed they have a lot more in the store than is listed online so I'd call them rather than order online if you're interested. They were so helpful as we'd not had a bird feeder before (except hummingbirds) so they helped us with the type of feeder as well as the kind of seeds to use. It's been fun!
