Looks like I am talking about a Harry Potter character giving his all.

that's what i thought, till i read all the posts!! VBG
i guess squirrels are crafty enough. i have a couple, i think a male
and female, that
live in the wooded area on my empty lot next door. i try to get corn
for them, or cheap shell peanuts (dollar store), and keep their food
away from my bird feeder.
i dunno, i guess i shouldnt feed them, but i think about all the
babies and get a guilty feeling.
my dad buys Planter's peanuts for his, but he doesnt feed the birds,
either.
go figure...

Even though I live in town I am in a constant war, Me vs. Varmints.

I have netting over my berries, and a bunch of little mylar pinwheels
on posts to discourage birds, I have flung around blood meal, bobcat
piddle, and cayenne pepper to dicourage squirrels and woodchucks. I
have chased after a possum with a knife (who knew those greasy smelly
tree rats could boogie that fast!), and left offerings for the marten
I spotted in the backyard last year.

One of the reasons we are considering moving the heck out of town is
it would be a lot cheaper to just shoot the buggers than to invest in
all these deterents. I have always fancied having a squirrel jacket.
