Is there a way to keep squirrels from eating my bird feeders?

Yes, there are several ways you can try. You can place the feeder higher up in your yard, away from any trees or shrubs where the squirrels might be able to climb. You could also add some sort of deterrent like a bell, noise maker, or bright colored ribbon that will scare the squirrels away. If you have access to a garden hose, you could spray water on the ground near the feeder to discourage them from coming close. Finally, you could try using a humane squirrel repellent such as squirrel-deterrent sprays or devices designed to prevent squirrels from climbing.
