Hahaha! We've been calling it the Lincoln Memorial the whole time John was making it....it is big...about two feet long and 18 inches or so high. I'm going to have to put some other plants or GJ around so it will not look so large where I have it. Thanks for the inspiring words...more projects to come!

The replacement bird feeder actually isn't new. I bought it and used it last year, but had it in a different location. I didn't get it out this year until last week when the old feeder on my kitchen window was leaking due to a crack in the bottom. But I've always had a feeder on my kitchen window...are those little birds that smart to notice that it is a different feeder than the one I had up earlier last week? The old one was solid red, about 10" tall, with 4 yellow "flowers" to feed from. The current one is a clear globe (kind of shaped like a hot-air balloon). Only the bottom is red, but it still has the 4 yellow flowers to feed from.

Yup, I moved to the desert. It's ok if this bubbles back up to the top - at least it will eventually bubble back down, LOL! I have too many house sparrows at my feeder. They are scaring the hummingbirds away! But I can't find the Magic Halo ANYWHERE. Did they stop making it???

I just hung an additional feeder, this one with seeds in a tube inside some wire mesh to discourage squirrels. Even that has been ignored so far. Saw the same dark eyed juncos that like to look for the seeds in some straw strewn over grass seed planted, but they haven't caught on to "look up" yet.
