Does this look like a cardinal to you?

Not to me either! This is the new platform feeder I bought on Saturday for the cardinals, and I placed it on the tallest shepherds' hook I have; the shepherds' hook has a baffle on it as well, to keep the squirrels from climbing up..........which obviously doesn't work!  I've seen the pair of cardinals all over our yard, but not once have they landed (at least, not that I've seen) on the platform feeder. After I looked inside, I knew why......it was empty, as all the seeds were eaten by this baffle avoiding squirrel!!
