Case of the Missing Seed
The Black Oil Sunflower feeder was going down by half or more each night. Our feeder is about 40 inches off the ground hung on a branch above. Now we know some squirrels can make the leap. However seed was disappearing in the night. So it couldn’t be a squirrel.
So I am not sure if both times they were the same culprit. Though they did seem to be of similar size. Next so that the seeds don’t disappear as fast I will try hanging the feeder up a bit higher.

Those sure are cute bandits you have. I would have to put seed out just for them.
This is why we quit feeding birds. Between the white-winged doves bullying smaller birds during the day, and the mammal parade at night, we were spending a fortune every month.
Understand that but feeding birds is part of our wildlife exemption.
I’m not suggesting you quit, just expressing an understanding of your situation.
👍🏼😊!
We had a similar issue with bandits- stovepipe style baffles solved the ptoblem! Now those little bandits as well as the squirrels must scrounge for seeds dropped by the birds. Those acrobatics are fun to watch though!
I do enjoy watching them. We may try the baffle too. Thanks!
