Jim and Marilyn,
Try a hawk silouette, you might get them from
a local store that sells feeders, etc.
Does anyone have experience with planting a small flower
garden under a bird feeder? I have a Droll Yankee cylinder feeder with a
squirrel baffle on a six foot pole.
Would a small planting a salvia under the feeder work?
Advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve Compton
