Last winter, I put up a suet basket that the birds never did find. This squirrel, however, found it just fine. He got a bit skittish when I raised the blinds and started shooting with my camera, so I only got a couple of shots. The soft-focus effect is due to it being shot through the screen. I kind of like it, though.

If a thing is edible, squirrels will find it. ;-)

Yes, they will! We had a red squirrel chew through the lid to a Rubbermaid container full of granola at camp once. We ended up having to store it in the car!

Thanks! I was happy he didn't run away before I could get it.

He looks so cute and sweet.

I used to like squirrels, until they started digging up and absconding with all my spring bulbs.
(WHY, little rodents, WHY?)

Because they are opportunists!
