I am so impressed with the pictures. Incredible. I enjoy seeing them.

I don't know what your yard is like, but if you have any trees or bushes, they will give cover to the birds to escape the cats (usually). And I have given up and feed the squirrels as well as the birds. It took me a long time (a year or more) to get a lot of birds coming regularly to the feeders, but after 20 years in this location, these birds are descendents of those first birds who have been taught to eat here. As are the squirrels. Or you can use a pole with a baffle to discourage squirrels and keep the feeders up away from cats. You should try it, and give it time. It is one of my forms of entertainment.
