Hanging Out?

Critters often have great amounts of tenacity!

This feeder was not intended for squirrels but this one clearly did not know or care.

When I watched him make a mad dash across the yard, I was intrigued.  He looked up at the feeder, made a wholesome jump , wrapped his front paws around the pole and went up where he could jump on the platform.

He obviously came to hang out and snack.

The seed mix met with his approval and he hung on for what seemed like a long time.  I know I would have gotten tired much sooner.

When he spotted us watching an staking his photo, he unceremoniously dropped .

He ran and looked back.  It felt like he was giving us a opportunity  to go away.  We didn't.  He chose to leave and we resumed watching the birds .

His tenacity earned my respect.  I hope he enjoyed his snack.

 

Just hanging around

Hello Jeanne and Ralph,  I had a mother squirrel  this year that decided that it would be fun to make a nest from one of my patio chairs, now I have 5 smalls squirrels in the back yard daily going after the bird feeders and not find a cushion for the one chair that she took the stuffing out of.  Oh well. they are still fun to watch.

Those squirrels are crazy clever... just like raccoon's! Make sure they don't tear up something that will cause damage to your home.
