Squirrel Visitors

Here are some pictures of squirrels that visit us on our deck in the back of our home. They come to the feeder and the bowls we leave out for them. We don't start this until the weather gets cold so they can prepare for the winter. We can tell when the winter will be a bad one when they stuff more than two peanuts in their mouths at a time. And with the peanut shells on, this is quite a feat.

while chewing on the peanut it
found on the deck. See how it
is poised for a quick escape?

Their paws are so cute.
Sneaking up on the feeder
Trying to get to the feeder while not
being seen is quite a challenge. Looks
like this squirrel has a plan.
Looking for others
Is there anyone over there?
Looking another way
How about over this way?
Coast is clear
The coast is clear. Now how
do I get in there?
Patience pays off
Ahh, sweet rewards.
