We had a barred owl hanging around our feeders for hours several days over the past month. Though we have many red squirrels who come to feed, none of them showed up while the owl was present. Meanwhile, the chickadees and nuthatches went about their feeding without fear....I hope the owl found better hunting elsewhere!

Pamela,
Please get that owl's name and email. I'd like him to visit our yard and dispatch the many red squirrels treating themselves to our bird food. We have a squirrel guard that works on the feeder but they simply wait under the feeder for seeds spilled by messy eaters.
