Thanks for looking, Gerry.  I just made an adjustment and hope to get 
his full tail next time.

I have adjusted the springs on the trough cover so that it closes under the full weight of birds as large as a Blue Jay.  This guy has learned that, if he carries a part of his weight with his wings, the trough stays open.  He can be seen making repeated trips, fluttering to access the trough, and flying away with a mouth full of seeds.
