It’s been squirrel central at Casa River lately.

Our beef feeder pole is out in the open, and with our resident hawk patrolling the skies we usually only have a single squirrel show up to nosh.

Seven is a record.

But after something scared the others away one brave little guy took advantage.

I know people hate squirrels because they eat the bird seed, but we’re equal opportunity feeders here and all critters are welcome.

I enjoy watching their gymnastic performances.

Rats with bushy tails?

Maybe.

But they’re still sweeties.

  4. That’s great that you put that out for the squirrels. It must give you so much entertainment. I don’t encourage the squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits in my yard, but I don’t discourage them either. My indoor cat loves the show.

  6. Our squirrels have not only been totes adorbs this season, they have also somehow managed to avoid traffic throughout. The nuts are being gathered, replanted, dug up…they’re all over the place mentally and physically. They are fun to watch.

  8. Sweet thieving bastards.

    We now have two squirrels tag-teaming the crows and yoinking their peanuts.

    And when we go into the backyard, one will come down from the tree and glare at us, demanding more peanuts with his eyes.

    They’re like the mafia.

    “It sure would be a shame if something happened to your beautiful house because you won’t give us your peanuts…”

    Scratch the sweet.

    Thieving bastards.

  9. That is quite entertaining. I have a squirrel that frequently runs along the fence outside my window. No tricks, but I enjoy his/her fluffiness. Also, mine is light brown. Yours look gray. How interesting. I remember being on the campus of Kent State in Ohio and seeing black squirrels. Weirdest thing ever, at the time. (I’m sure I’ve seen weirder things since.)

      1. Where I grew up in Ohio the squirrels were gray, too. I’m not sure I realized the ones here are different until this post! Are these brown ones what you refer to as red squirrels? My eyes have been opened to the many varieties of squirrels. There’s also talk of “ground squirrels” out here. What the heck?
