Years back we gave up feeding birds and just fed the squirrels. They are a hoot to watch.

Love the squirrel Photos! You just can't get low enough for a S2000 pass-over, especially if it has been lowered. Now this...

Because of the neighbor’s continual complaints I no longer feed my squirrels. I tried to eliminate their feeding out of my bird feeder by attaching a stove pipe to the wooden post, but the little rascals and raccoons still made it into the feeder. Now they don’t…

I’ve modified the stovepipe design by electrifying it. There are now two stovepipes separated by 1/2 inch, the bottom half has one side of a 120v AC current and he upper half the other. As they are climbing they receive a shocking experience. There has not been any squirrel activities around the bird feeder since the mods. It works for raccoons, too.

Great squirrel photos and great squirrel deterrent.

I was waiting for the hummingbird to show up and instead chased a dragonfly around the yard.

That also keeps the neighborhood kids from playing around the bird feeder!

I believe that Mr Squirrel is really a Ms. Squirrel. There seems to be some equipment miss for it to be a him.

I really like the dragonfly and hummingbird photos.
