feeder fun

I was fortunate in capturing this chipmunk on top the feeder

since they are so quick.  I've counted up to 5 of them at one

time in the feeding area.  On this particular day they were running

up and down the tree waiting for the feeder to open up for them.

I always find it interesting to watch how creative

squirrels are when they are invading the feeders

He looks a bit uncomfortable all crouched down in front.

Not sure why but I love catching them with only

their heads and tails showing like the one below.

all that work for a corn bit

I could stay in much better shape if I had
to work so hard for my food.

Still going through older photos thus the greenery.

I hope to capture some new squirrelly photos soon.
For now I had to dig into some older photos.

Squirrel seeking safety in the nook of this tree.
Not a very good photo but squirrelly enough for me.

This squirrel stuck around for a couple of pictures
and then scurried quickly up the tree to join
its playmate that bolted as soon as I noticed them
frolicking around this tree.

photos were taken this past summer

This little squirrel was sitting about 15 feet from me
when I stopped on a trail. The only thing moving was
its tail in the wind. Even after I continued on my way
he/she continued to maintain its position.

stay away!

Sure does look like this squirrel wants my
grand dog to stay away.
