Eastern Bluebird: Kennebunk, Maine, USA \u2014 Once again one of our bluebirds on a favored perch at our back deck feeding station. I had to replace our nice mealworm feeder with an ugly \u201csquirrel proof\u201d multi-seed feeder this week as two of our neighborhood squirrels had figured out how to access the mealworms in the bowl feeder. Not easy, but I always say, \u201cwhere there is a way there is a squirrel.\u201d Still, it is a feeder the bluebirds used all summer out at my backyard photo blind, so they are used to it. It is difficult to find a hopper feeder that will reliably feed mealworms, and I found this one by chance…ordered it when no other squirrel proof feeders were available this spring for regular seed, and only discovered it worked with mealworms after I got it. The bluebirds have no problem with it, and so far no squirrels have gotten the better of the baffle. \ud83d\ude42 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
