Field notes on this piece

Cylinder baffles beat cones for raccoons, which can reach around a cone’s edge. The baffle wobbles slightly on its bracket, so there is no grip at the top.

Set the bottom edge 4 to 5 feet above ground. It also protects nest boxes from snakes and raccoons — bluebird monitors consider it standard equipment.

What sets it apart

  • Blocks squirrels, raccoons, cats and snakes
  • Slight wobble denies a grip
  • Installs without removing the feeder
  • Protects nest boxes too
