Birders

At my place. We tried all kinds of hazing methods... my favorite is a slingshot using buckeyes, but those birds, upon first realization they have return fire, scatter to find a hiding spot where they can see you but you can't get them. The opposite of grouse who think you can't see them hiding behind the blade of grass that obscures their eye.

I don't recall what we ended up doing, maybe it was to just scatter the feed all over the place so there was no single concentration anywhere that they could maraud. I wasn't willing to give up having coffee with my cardinals and waxwings.
