While the red squirrels are a constant unwelcome chewing, gnawing, destructive menace… our gray visitors provide hours of entertainment.

I know we’re in the minority here, but we don’t mind squirrels eating from our feeders.

They’re usually content to perch in the flat ones and happily munch away, but the other day this fellow was determined to get the last few seeds out of the carriage feeder and that proved more challenging.

Gravity be damned.

And just when he figured it out?

Squirrel #2 arrived and kicked him off.

Undeterred… our intrepid acrobat regrouped and moved on to the suet.

Gray squirrels….

Ya gotta love them.

  4. I miss the squirrels from my last university. They use to run around the pecan orchards and you could see them running up the trees in back of our building. Here, there are foxes and a couple of coyotes that are near the mountain side.

  7. What fun photos and entertainment. I’m enjoying my chipmunk family. Although a few years ago, they kept running by my window with white fluff in their mouth. They were feathering their next with my chaise lounge stuffing!

      1. Mine had a huge hole. I bought two new chaise lounges. I loved the ones I had, because they were a “chaise and a half” size. My kids would sit with me on them when they were little. But I couldn’t find replacements for the cushions and custom was more than what I’d pay for two standard ones.

      5. I understand. The chipmunks are leaving my new set alone. I put mine out on the street for our monthly bulk trash pickup. They didn’t make it. Somebody took them before the garbage truck arrived.
