A few more of our oh so limber and persistent gray squirrels.
.

.
The lantern feeder on the end is the largest and holds the most seed…
.

.
So naturally they try to take advantage.
.

.
Which requires contortionist moves.
.

.
And prehensile feet.
.

.
The flat feeders are so much easier to access.

Thank you Jerry.
I’m pretty pleased with it as well.
😉

I wonder if they take it in turns: “Remember, Stan. Today’s MY day at the flat feeder.”

It’s first come, first serve.
But the squirrelly fights for position are quite entertaining…

This is why we just throw the seed on the ground. They are so clever and so capable.

Your squirrels are distracting you so that you misspelled Jerry’s name.

I am thinking that the crows nearby like taking down lines and scaring my little pug, Razzie. The other day, they took down one of the lines for Verizon and Mike had to put it back up and this morning, they did a dance number calling out caws and scaring the little black pug. I cawed back at the bullies.

Crows are the noisiest birds. Funny that they like to scare your pug though, ours are big sissies up here. Everything scares them.

I’m very protective of the little pug.

We’ve had squirrels break squirrel proof bird feeders! Which isn’t very nice of them. This morning a huge turkey mistook me for a lady turkey so I’m not feeling my love for the wild critters thing today!

Your squirrels are huge compared to ours. I’m glad I moved my bird feeders away from squirrel access. Otherwise they’d take over.

I know, we’d consider your squirrels chipmunks.

They are the same size as chipmunks. And look like them, too.

Our squirrels find plenty to eat without my help. My feeder hangs from the middle of the clothesline, a lot like the way I hang food in bear country. No squirrel has gotten into it yet. Jerry will appear on my site tomorrow – his luthier just died.

That black pole used to be one end of our clothesline. My husband was constantly hanging heavy things on there he shouldn’t and it would break. I got so tired of tightening and knotting it… I quit.

When we bought this house the clotheslines were rotting. Instead of the usual cotton or plastic, I bought plastic-coated steel cable. It can hold some weight and won’t fray or stretch. I did have to tighten a couple of the lines once…but that’s once in 30 years. But I use them for hanging laundry in the summer and a bird feeder in the winter – not whatever your husband hung from yours.

Thankfully, mine long ago gave up on accessing our feeders. But they’re still finding plenty of food around the yard, so I consider that the best of both worlds.
