Bud made this feeding shelf for my kitchen window. I load it with sunflower seeds for the critters. This young squirrel is the first of his clan bold enough to take advantage of it. I was glad he tolerated my presence well enough to get this picture. Of course, it was built with birds in mind but I like squirrels, too.

The tray is 9×14 “ with a 3/4 ledge wrapped around. It is anchored by a strap cut from a milk jug that runs from base of tray. The other end is wrapped and stapled around a dowel rod that extends inside window. Closing the window on strap with the dowel inside holds it securely. Bud intends to go back today and add additional support.
