reviewed on + 16 more book reviews


Birdloving Americans face a common enemy: the squirrel. This fast, crafty, incredibly greedy creature casts our pleasures to the wind, brings his buddies to lunch, and pillages our birdfeeders before our very eyes!

Here at last, is the answer. "Outwitting Squirrels" is a defense manual for besieged feeders of birds. Spooker poles, Perrier bottles, baffled fishing line, Vaseline, water bombs, cayenne pepper, and Nixalite - the author has tried them all. In addition he rates popular birdfeeders, discusses specialty seed, profiles the enemy, and regales he reader with squirrel adventures and misadventures.
