I had a good news bad news day with my bird feeder yesterday. The good news was another sign of spring, as some red-winged blackbirds were out there feeding after returning from a southern vacation. The bad news is that a bit later I spotted the first real breach of my feeder by the industrious Mr. Squirrel, something I feel obliged to admit since I've endorsed my feeder's immunity to such shenanigans many times in the past. I found him out there managing to cling upside down to the feeder as he chowed down on all the seed he could handle. He may have been aided by some forsythia branches I've left too close to the feeder, and it may have just been a miracle that he managed to hang on after leaping to the feeder, but however he accomplished it, he won that battle. Now I have to keep tabs on this situation and see if this represents a new chapter in our struggle, or if this was just a one-off fluke victory for the enemy.
