For whatever reason, they seem to be gone now.  :(

the pole so they can reach the feeder?

I can see that. :)  My old fat house cat used to watch birds on the lawn 
and start that teeth chatter thing.  If I let him out he would never catch

 CS> tree and the acorns from the one in front.

Storing up for the winter then?  :)
