You're right...squirrels are irritating, and very clever, pests. I recently watched one hang upside down from my seed feeder chain, stuffing his face with sunflower seed until I opened the window to yell. Unfortunately, once I did that, he jumped off the feeder and made it spin around so fast that all the mixed seed (in the other half of the feeder) spun out and showered the ground. Sigh. Well, at least I have a lot of ground-feeding birds in my neighborhood. I have since moved the feeder to a shepherd's hook with a pole baffle. I truly hope the baffle does its job, since seed isn't free and the birds are much more entertaining! Darn squirrels. Great post, Keith!

For the longest time, I couldn't figure out what was drinking all the nectar from my hummingbird feeder, because I never saw any hummingbirds. Then one day I happened to look out the window, and there was a squirrel upside down sucking all the nectar out! They sure are brats! Loved this post.
