I purchased one of your traps back in March and had it out for a while with no results. I put it in my shed out of the rain/bad weather for a few weeks. I’ve since built a covered-platform feeder and have it set out next to the shed. Within a few feet behind it, on half concrete blocks and a piece of plywood, sits the trap. Just today, 4/27/08, I caught two male sparrows. One had gotten caught while I was in the house. The second, I couldn’t believe, was caught when I was working maybe 30 or 40 ft away, covering seedlings for frost warning tonight. There was one bird in the trap when I started, and two when I finished.

An update Blaine. From 11/6/5 to today, 1/18/6 I’ve removed 478 HOSP! 288 males and 190 females. Amazing!.
