Squirrels don't know the meaning of discouragement. They live to figure out how to get into our feeders. If you look closely, high up in the trees, you'll see them wearing little hard hats and engineering boots, perusing plans and devising new techniques to get on our nerves and get to the food that they think we've put out for them. They're relentless and readily accept the challenge at hand. It's what they do.

I have video of a flying squirrel that was a regular visitor at my second-floor window feeder after dark. The closest tree was a tall cedar about 30' from the house, and he obviously figured out the flight path, thrust, drag, etc. He was a frequent flyer who earned his meals, and he was a cute little bugger, too.

Do you think "squirrel-proof bird feeder" might be an oxymoron?

Cheers,
