Default Pesky Squirrel in my new feeder!

Well, this didn't take long!

This is a second generation this summer squirrel, who managed to get into my new window feeder!

This first photo is his/her home, in the oak, in front of our house. I caught this picture of Mom watching us work on the front garden that the construction trashed. She had thrown the first 2 babes out, and they were on their own. We thought she had new ones in there when we took this pic, in mid July just before we left.

The second photo is this young one, who figured out how to scale the wall of the house jump to the suet feeder (which is not in the frame), then jump to the seed feeder. So yesterday, hubby moved the suet feeder, and so far no invasion took place!

Both pictures are kind of cute... but we cannot afford to feed the premium seeds at this rate, to this little piggy!

Aww....I have that problem, too. The squirrels around here are smart and they can figure out a way to get to the bird seed...regardless of what I do.

I love the little fellas and can't bring myself to shoo them away when they're hungry so I just put out piles of seed, peanuts and fruit on the ground for them. They have to eat, too!!

They're so cute to watch...and the birds have gotten so used to them that sometimes they wrestle over the peanuts!

Wink we feed everybody!

This guy has plenty... he just wants MORE.....LOL

He is descended from "MA" my husband named her that.
She used to follow us right into the living room when we came home with grocery bags!

She was very tame and very smart... just like her great great great grandkids!
