Beautiful photos, Ottercreek! Can you tell me about your fat feeder, please?
Patty, when I'm wandering thru woodlots and the like, I constantly keep watch for rotting fallen trees and large branches looking for those that have cavities or rotting knotholes. I can usually chisel out holes that are not quite large enough.
Saw the section to about 3-4' in length and use metal pipe straps to attach the wood section to the pipe. use 3/4" to 1" metal pipe from Home Depot or Lowes, etc. Pound the. metal pipe in the ground couple of feet, attach the branch and you are good to go! I have used the current branch for 12 years now. Local bird house/bird feeder shops want me to make them for sale but they aren't willing to pay enough! In the next day or so I will post a photo of the setup.
