Thank you, so very much, to everyone who responded with advice. It looks like a common used product is a baffle...numerous people using them with success!
I'm hitting ebay today, looking for deals!
Today, grossbeaks eating with their babies, and starlings feeding their young as well on my barn-feeder! Those starling babies are almost as big as their parents...crazy! Squirrels are dining below, as my new method (crisco) is keeping them slipping from the top! Must say, it's fun to watch them spiral down. They're getting lots of the scraps, though...and a chipmunk has found refuge in some tubing on the side of our house under my office window, giving me a perfect place to watch him eat! Bandtails came back and I think they've started calling to eachother. I forgot how much I love pigeon calls.
Thanks again for all the help!
