I pictured this and was all , especially since I didn't know they came in giant.
Ahahaha! Argh! I know what that's from, too... Men in Tights?
Lastly, I added some more piles of branches to key locations around the feeders. The song birds were at first skeptical (Cardinals led the charge soon after I went back inside) but soon realized all was well and dug in. Then the purple finches were fighting over my window feeders, and I soon had a gaggle of species in my yard, eating and also drinking from the heated water dish. A few minutes later they all scattered, making good use of the cover, but I didn't see anything and a few brave birds went back out to dine.
Hopefully the extra cover at least keeps the falcon from making daily stops here, if not encouraging him to find another hunting spot. And if not, maybe I'll get a nice pic of him up close or even diving.
Mine's under my oak, which does a nice job of protecting the birdies from the hawks.
The snow had the birds out. It's like they finally figured out that there's *food* in the feeder... silly birds.
