Feeding the Birds (or Squirrels?)

This bird feeder used to be attached with a suction cup to our living room window. For years we enjoyed watching birds - and occasionally squirrels - hang on it, snack on seeds.














That all changed in the year 2000 - the year of our major renovation... We removed the feeder, and it has been collecting dust ever since. This winter I have put it up again. I recently hung it on a backyard branch where it is visible from more windows.














As it blows in the wind, slightly covered in snow, I wonder if any birds will discover it. Are the sunflower seeds too large for small birds to eat? Will the cunning squirrels find a way to get into it?














Watching to see what happens is part of bird feeding fun!
