He's a persistent little guy. I flipped up the 1/2 roof with a broom and gave him a few nudges with a broom and he left. A few hours later at about 3:30 am our little dog started barking at the patio doors that open onto the deck where this bird feeder is attached at about eye level, and sure enough he was back in it. I flipped it open and gave him some encouragement to leave but he wasn't having any. It was just a degree or two above freezing and a light rain had started so I just closed it back up and left him. He stayed until the morning.
My wife saw the red squirrel first and by the time I got home she had already named, adopted, and bought special squirrel food for him, so he got to stay. This coon best move on soon.
