OK, undeterred, I triple-bagged this one and filled it with premixed woodpecker feed rather than unshelled peanuts. Astonishingly, I walked from the yard back to my laptop in the house to see that a squirrel had already arrived and started tucking in. It looks like this bag isn’t going to last any longer than the last one; do they think I’m made of plastic bags, for goodness sake?

Hehe… nice! You’ve got them hooked now…
It’ll be interesting to see how the morning crew takes to the woodpecker food. I have the video finished from yesterday’s morning session, but I’m going to hold off on posting it until tonight, because there’s already the 4:30 video that you posted earlier… The video of all the stuff I recorded in the morning is a whopping 18 and a half minutes! And that doesn’t include the part where the squirrels were ripping up the second bag! That’s the length of one of my normal projects (and I wonder how long the entire thing would have lasted…?)
