Eric that is a nice feeder in your pictures, I was looking at one like it yesterday at walmart, it was sold as "Squirrel Proof"
I only have three squirrels that come to my bird feeder. I had a real problem with them dumping the food all over the ground to get to the sunflower seeds.
Then I realized that If I bought better food there would be more sunflower seeds to eat and less food on the ground.
I bought a bag of sunflower seeds, mixed it with the birdseed I already had. now the squirrels don't have to dig to get to the sunflower seeds, the small amount they spill is ate by the ground feeders (doves etc.) and I have very little waste. and its as fun watching the squirrels as it is the birds.
Next year I will mix from the start and not worry about the squirrels.
