What you need is an Animatronic Owl, or perhaps an Animatronic Hawk.

PBS' program "Spy in the Wild" showcases the use of such animatronics, apparently made by this company.

Has anyone done this successfully before and would you share your methods with me.

You have to move it around. Can't stay in one place or you will find the squirrels chewing on it.
