There may be some truth to that. The next time someone encounters an
official, he/she should pursue the question.
And we know from Dave Leatherman's posts how squirrels can eat young birds.
However -
Every day I have one to four squirrels on the ground under my feeders. They
eat happily and voraciously next to house finches, house sparrows, red-w
blackbirds, grackles, starlings, mourning doves, juncos, etc. As a
lifetime bird feeder and squirrel unfriendly person, my only relief to this
(besides keeping the sunflower seeds high up on a protected post) has been
watching a red fox capture, kill, and head for home with one of them for
breakfast.
I have never seen a squirrel make a threatening gesture toward any bird.
But I'll watch.

Friends who camped out at Crow last week were told by someone from the Forrest
Service that the squirrels were eating the birds and that they were trying to
control it.
Maybe that accounts for a lack of birds. However it seems the birds would come
in anyway.
