.... all my attempts to squirrel-proof the bird feeder have failed so far.

Not a terrible good shot, but his intent is clear - to humiliate me.

Hang it from a line, and put soda bottles on the line (put a hole on the bottom an string the line through) so that when the squirrel attempts to walk on them, they spin.

LOL!! Yeah, that beastie is definitely laughing at you. I've found exactly one feeder that works (so far) to keep the tree rats away. It's the Heritage Farms Absolute Combo feeder (external link) -- so far it's worked perfectly set on the included pole.

THIEF! (but talented)

Couldn't figure out how those birds emptied that feeder so fast.
