After the raccoons knocked down your webmaster's bird feeder, it was time to get serious. This new version features a three inch PVC pipe set in 300 pounds of concrete. Ha, ha! Squirrels can't climb it! The feeder itself is cleverly mounted on a removable toilet flange. It can be taken indoors at night when the hungry bears come out of hibernation in the spring. As you can see, some of our new feeder's first visitors included one of Franklin's wild turkey flocks.
