Trying to stop this guy from getting to our bird feeders is a lost cause.
Instead, we'll just admire his intelligence and athletic skills.

You mean you're going to let a squirrel out smart you?

What I did to defeat the squirrels is hand the feeders from a line of very strong, very small gauge wire. The feeders are far enough from the ground and any supports for the squirrels to jump and small enough gauge to prevent the squirrels from walking the wire. It works quite well.

The squirrels around here not only steal the bird seed, but can be very destructive, burrowing around the house causing a mess as well as undermining structures. Considering getting out the pellet gun, but if others have suggestions about how to keep these guys away it would be appreciated.

How about several cats?

At least squirrels don't mess with the birds. Cats are not the answer. I am a dog person.

Nice photos of the squirrel.
As for stopping him, I discovered when I was about 12 years old that a .22 rifle stops a squirrel pretty well and renders the offending animal ready for stew.
