Looks like a Bird that enjoys take-away

Nice shot, does the line holding the feeder keep the squirrels off?

Yes, it's the current result of a multi-year battle of wills with the squirrels. Suspended between a tree and my house, so it's tough for them to jump on it and if you notice, the wire is covered in 1,000 plastic beads that spin if they try to run on it.

I'm winning, but we keep changing leads.

Kudos to you on winning the battle. At least for now.
