I have 6 squirrels who eat from the bird feeder. I finally bought a squirrel feeder and that stopped most of them from doing what the one in this photo is doing. They drive my do crazy! Nice capture, #271111

Thank you. The spuirrel feeder is in another tree about 6 feet from this one. Still, he goes for this one. He didn't really care that I was really close taking pictures. #1538683

Oh, I do to. The feeders, bird, squirrel and humming bird are just off the poarch of a little weekend lake house we have. My thing is to sit out there every morning as early as I can stand it and watch the battle for breakfast. It is so much fun. The rabits join in from the ground, it is quite a show. #1557792

Christy Thats a great shot.Cheeky and bold little squirrel`s alright.We have some very small ones here,introduced of course,that I have seen run across the road next to the Perth Zoo,where I presume they were introduced to.Just a flash and they have gone to the otherside of the road.Delightful shot. #1662505

Thank you Joe, here, they are of course all over the place. Keeping them out of a bird feeder can be a full time job. But, their balance is something. #1662583

I am laughing out loud on this photo. They are so darn cute, but never have seen one doing this before. Thanks for sharing it with us. O by the way you have a nice gallery, some great shots. #1671356

Thank you Anita, these guys have a feeder in the next tree just for them. But, they go after the birds, then their own. So funny to watch. thank you for commenting on my gallery. #1671379
