We have a VERY relentless squirrel hanging out around our bird feeders. He’s rather cute to watch as he comes scampering out of the woods across the lawn to the feeders. He even stops to snag a few droppings at the base of the feeders.
Quite honestly, I don’t understand why he feels the need to scale up the pole to the feeder. It seems to me it would be a whole lot easier for him to just grab from the leftovers. But hey, it is a squirrel after all.
He’s really quite funny to watch as he wraps himself around the feeder trying to get the optimal morsels of food.
Even the cardinal looks at little baffled as to why the squirrel is making it harder than it needs to be to get to the food.
Oh well, to each his own, “any which way you can.”
Until next time,

Great captures of this determined squirrel! My favorite is the one with the cardinal. The squirrels in our yard are lazy and feast on the seeds on the ground underneath the feeder.

Thank you, Beth! Fortunately, at the moment, we only have one squirrel. On another note, I hope you are doing well with the wildfires around you. We were on SSI earlier this week, and Tuesday morning was VERY smokey, but cleared by the afternoon.

Thanks for thinking of us here. We are north of the fires but our mornings have been smoky and I can smell the smoke. I hope they can get it under control soon.
