    This is one of our little Red Squirrels that always try and get a snack out of my hanging sunflower seed feeder.
    We got quite a chuckle out of her antics. :D

    Persistence till they find a way to succeed. Their exploits are a never ending source of entertainment. Great pictures.

    That is cute. Were you staring at this particular squirrel ???
    Learned some tricks from her?
    LOL
    When in the army, we guys, were supposed to do some aerobics. None of us could. The trainer just gave up!
    HEHEHE

    Cal the feeder she was on is right outside our dinning room window. Can't help but see her swinging on her aerobics bar. It is great entertainment. :D Ya, aerobics and I don't get along either. I could us to loose a few pounds though. ;)

    Gfeihrr, yes it is amazing all that they will do for a free lunch. :-D

    What a cute little squirrel, and what great pictures!

    Outside your dining room? Do you ever forget to eat when you're watching the squirrels? :D

    Thank you gardenelf & supersweetmom; Yes my coffee has gotten cold on more than one occasion. We love watching them. But our neighbor shoots them :'( They go into his garage and use it to store their walnuts in from our Walnut tree. I told him just put a door on your garage and leave those cute little squirrels alone.
