There are two poles sticking out from the wall on either side of the window. These are where we hang peanut feeders. One is the type that has a cage round it, and although a juvenile squirrel can get inside, still cannot remove much food, and they tend to ignore it. The other one, that can also be seen on the right hand side of the feedercam picture, is a rather neat device that we have had for many years. It has to be positioned so that a squirrel cannot leap onto it, but if a squirrel runs along the pole and down the wire suspending the feeder, the weight of the squirrel causes the green "sheath" seen above the nut holder to come down and cover the nuts. Very frustrating for the squirrel, but great fun for us to watch!
