At The Birdfeeder

I have noticed an increase in activity at the birdfeeder over the past couple weeks by our feathered friends and.............

our furry ones!

Thankful Squirrel

I mentioned in an earlier post how amazed a squirrel was when he found the top of a bird feeder open. Well, they went a step further... one or more learned to open the latch on top.

Sometimes my images surprise me showing something I didn't see with the camera. It appears this guy is giving thanks for his skills & his dinner!

I think about how much bird food squirrels consume, then again how much I enjoy watching them. Pretty low cost entertainment!

Backyard Acrobat

Mom told me recently she had ask my sister how she would like to be a squirrel. I'm not sure why this came about, but anyhow, watching this guy this evening reminded me of that. It's pretty amazing the positions a squirrel can assume to get a treat from a bird feeder. An interesting fact about squirrels is they are very forgetful. The nuts & other goodies they work so hard to store may never be found in the cold of winter. Maybe that's why they are frequent guests at the birdfeeder! After awhile I did spread corn & sunflower seeds where he could reach & fill his tummy comfortably.

Oh yeah. The answer to the squirrel question was no - I did not ask!!!
