We have a feeder right out our kitchen window, within about 2 feet from the glass. The only 2 birds that are using it are a couple of smart finches. I think they are keeping the feeder a secret, being the only birds we have seen there. We live at the top of the river bluff and see a lot of squirrels, birds (including eagles) and wildlife around the house. Last night I had a big coyote in our back yard while my Basset pup and 1 yr. old mixed female basset/hound were chained out. I think I had better keep a close eye on my dogs and hungry 'yotes.
