[Leica] IMG: That's Not Fair!

[Jim Nichols]

The feeding gate on my vertical feeder is spring-loaded, to allow small 
birds full access, and to prevent large birds from scattering the 
seeds.  Back in mid-May, I was experimenting with pre-load weights to 
see what worked best.  Large woodpeckers have difficulty with this type 
of feeder unless they feed upside down, but, with the heavy pre-load, 
and his own weight, this Red-Bellied Woodpecker was left with a very 
small feeding gap.  His expression displays his frustration.

I settled on a reduced pre-load, and peace prevailed.
