The Ruffed Grouse certainly has great camoflage. Blends in so nicely. Those red squirrels sure do hog those seeds. We have them up in the Adirondacks. Home, I have a family of grey squirrels I've been supporting for several years now. They only bug me when they jump out onto the "squirrel proof" feeders I have and hang upsidedown and eat and eat and eat even while I tap at the window. The chipmunks are cool. I love watching them. We get juncos, gold finch, tit mouse, chickadees, woodpeckers, blue jays, cardinals, and mourning doves on or under our feeders. Occasionally we'll get about a bazillion starlings to visit but they usually don't stay long. We used to see the eastern blue bird often, but in the past few years they haven't been around. They would never go near the feeders but at least I'd see them zipping here and there from tree to tree. One pair even made a nest in the first blue bird house I ever built. That was a thrill. I built it to the proper specs and sure enough they moved right in. Later Gator. -JiveTurkey
