This round goes to the squirrel.

From Critters

Next, I'll try a squirrel baffle like this. (I'm not sure how long it'll keep the squirrels baffled.)

I could have added a baffle earlier, but I wanted to see what would happen without it.

Edit: After talking with Ann, we've decided that (for now) the squirrel(s) amuse us, so we're probably going to leave things as they are.

I don't know if I've said this here before, but I'm a big fan of adding red pepper to the seed mix. It doesn't bother the birds, but it does bother the squirrels so they stay away.

Of course, once I got it in my eye (our feeder is above face level and I didn't bother taking it down for refilling) so the the squirrels still kind of won that battle.

I was adding capsasin powder to my seeds and the squirrels seemed to like it. It didn't deter them one bit.
