FLIGHT DYNAMICS

As foliage in the area of our bird feeder matures, more adventurous squirrels in the neighborhood see flight as an opportunity to circumvent the shield on the feeder and jump directly to the food source.
We've moved the feeder twice in the last couple of weeks, and it's now 7 1/2' away from the nearest launching platform (that's a tape measure in the photo).

Note - Squirrels directly on the feeder have a tendency to enlarge feeder openings to obtain food faster...
