That WAS a first. For those confused, the feeder in Blount County was
hanging from a second story window. There was no way to hang the trap
out there, so we initially just tried setting it up on our projector
stand about 8 feet below its normal position. This was apparently too
much for the little guy to figure out (he actually starting poking at
the glass in the window at one point, and also perched on the window
sill), so I decided I would just go over there and hold the trap up as
high as I could while Dean worked the trap. First time the bird came
back, we caught it, and thank goodness, because my arms were getting
tired!
