Last night's temperature drop was accompanied by rain and wind. The wind may explain how the feeder roof got tipped vertical exposing the seeds. Finches were undisturbed and continued feeding on the perch. The chickadees only returned after it was closed.
But, a squirrel noticed the opportunity and got into the inside of the feeder. Clearly nervous about being in such a potential trap, the squirrel kept popping up for quick check for danger. After we closed the feeder, the squirrel was all over it, trying to figure out how to make its windfall reappear. Suddenly, a crow dive-bombed the squirrel who fled down the post, but later returned to the puzzle.
Despite the continued wind, a pelican and a cormorant were out on the water. The female cardinal visited the feeder.
