“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

LOL…..stupid squirrels. Perhaps, this would be a good time to have a strategically placed “donate” button. I know they’re eating you out of house and home. It is so enjoyable to watch your birdfeeder. Thanks for providing us with that viewing pleasure.
Too funny! :-D
Father, on my RV trip across the country I have been snapping pictures of squirrels. They are EVERYwhere. Beware.
Wait until he comes right up to your sliding glass door and thump, thump, thumps his little paw on it to let you know that the feeder is empty. Right behind him on the deck railing will be a big blue jay, squawking like mad to back him up! Talk about cheeky!
Maybe you can get a squirrel feeder, why do the bird get a free lunch?
At my feeder it’s not the squirrels that are the problem it’s those cursed blackbirds.
LOL! Great one. –But I confess: I have a squirrel feeder, and I use it.
I really can relate to this one (very funny)the squirrels and deer clean out all my feeders but one, and that one is hung high enough and far enough out on overhead eve.
I keep waiting for Father Z to grab a .22 and present to us a delectable recipe for squirrel with leeks, potato, fennel, and tarragon. Although, you will probably want a pressure cooker, squirrel tends to be rather……tough.
Fr.,
I still think you should go with one of those squirrel proof feeders from Droll Yankees
Then put a Z-CAM on that!
My vote is for the Yankee Flipper
Fr Z, We are holding off the squirrel invasion with several weapons:
Squirrel proof feeder from Droll Yankees (it works)
I have a pellet gun which I am no longer allowed to shoot near the house (I keep putting holes in the screen porch)
My husband has a BB gun (be careful not to put your eye out)
The BEST squirrel proofer: 2 little rescue dogs who take invaders very personally.
The last works best in combination with a doggie door.
Grackles go away if you open and close the door. Banging on the window does not work.
Cats don’t work, either, because they chase off the squirrels and eat the birds.

My only attempt at a bird feeder turned out to be a squirrel buffet – and there was one that I thought would eat until he simply exploded. No bird ever got near it; the squirrels lived in the adjacent pine tree. I gave up. Squirrels’ revenge? Throwing half-eaten pine cones on my head when I walked by.
LOL.
Where I used to live the sqirrels WERE the bird feeder! ^_^
Here in Southern California we don’t get too many colorful songbirds other than the occasional robin or hummingbird. However, living on the foothills overlooking a lake, we would get many birds of prey sitting on our fence to look for dinner, including peregrine falcons (these were very common), golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, ospreys, kestrels, kites (I lived on “Kite Hill”), goshawks, California road runners, and once, a huge condor.
linked.
We had the same problem when we lived in Oklahoma…but our feeder leaked and we ended up with a nice garden of millet and sunflowers below the feeder.
Here in the Philippines, no squirrels in our neighborhood.
It may just be me, but the handwriting on the note looks eerily similar to that of my CAT!
Just sayin’
Using a .22 to take out the squirrels-oh, man, when I read that I had to keep from LOL in the library!
So Larry-is squirrel meat really that tough? I’d like to see Fr. Z make a recipe, too!
Mary Jane-squirrels throw half-eaten pine cones at you? That’s serious OUCH!
