(295) Backyard Hardware
Day 295/366 of Project 365 (Wednesday, 2020 October 21 - 164th consecutive daily photo): Close-up of the hardware used to attach and ear of corn to a squirrel feeder. Mounted to the trunk of a tree, the feeder rotates and has four arms. In my first year in our new home, this seemed like a reasonable way to keep squirrels away from the bird feeders. That was before I (1) discovered other ways (i.e., baffles) to keep the squirrels off the feeders and (2) learned that the squirrels are quite capable of fending for themselves.
