I just LOVE the little monkeys. I have had regular, daily, interaction with them now for a few years. I set up my window ledge almost every morning with food for them and they have come to know me well.

This is the latest baby from a family of them who have been coming to my window for years now. They KNOW my habits and routine. This is "Mooch".


He comes early in the morning and also sometimes while I am making dinner, Especially if I am frying anything, the smell attracts him and he KNOWS I am in here cooking. He LOVES french fries. After I finish frying everything I fry up the peeled potato skins JUST for him. Usually some "Interloper" tries to horn in on his claim and fight ensues.

Sometimes, I will be in the kitchen, washing dishes or whatnot and I can FEEL that someone is watching me. Mooch and his cronies will HANG from the bricks around the window and look in the window. Yesterday there were 8 eyeballs watching me, I could see their little heads bobbing on the edges of the window. They think they are being Shrewd by staying out of sight but I know they are just Scouts for the rest of the waiting Mob out there.
