Just Hangin Around

Saw this squirrel yesterday eating out of the neighbor's bird feeder. He actually hooks his claws into the top of the feeder and hangs upside down to reach the food.

That is just to cute.
I love squirrels.

cute, but I hate squirrels, the grey ones are just so annoying, they get into our attic, one died in our water tank but now we sealed the roof better.

Red squirrels rock

Yep i agree replace the camera lens with a set of scopes i go with the above i love to see the small reds (sadly a rare sight now) but the greys are total killers "pest" sick of seeing them robbing nests along with magpies, and basically stripping all the trees of bark.

Nah seriously i dont like them but they can be amusing to watch as they are so adaptable and clever animals hence how they do so well, my local park is now infested with them that they are as common place as pigeons in the city and along with magpies they do a great little number on the bird / finch population.

Great photo though and captures the skill of these cute looking pests



Ahh just noticed your from the states (we rued the day they were introduced here in the UK infact there is going to be a cull nationally here in the UK)

Is there really going to be a cull? We have masses of grey squirrels in our garden at home.
