WHEN A BIRD FEEDER is a Bird Feeder

When it hangs from a shepherd's hook.
Forcing chipmunks to eat overflow thistle seeds that land on the ground.

When it hangs inside at night.
Forcing the raccoons to find a new swing and snack bar.

update after neighborhood winetasting
A bear is probably the culprit not the raccoons. We're the only ones who haven't seen the big ole bear.
