I just bought this new feeder today. It's called All Weather Bird Feeder. It is supposed to keep the seed completely dry even in driving rain or snow. It's very well sealed, and the seed dispenses from a circular rim above the perch so that even horizontally driven rain won't get into the seed. The perch/tray also helps to catch hulls.

I hung it out just 1/2 hour ago, and the birds are already figuring out that they have to pull the seed from above their heads. As far as I can tell, this feeder looks well built and pretty inovative. I guess we'll see if it lives up to its "all weather" name.

You can also buy an optional squirrel cage that fits around the base to make the feeder small bird selective, keeping out squirrels and grackles/starlings. If I like this feeder, I'll be ordering the cage pronto!
