    Was watching the birds at the bird feeder and there was a squirel on the ground getting fallen seeds. All of a sudden he went over to the water bowl to get a drink. The only problem is that the water bowl is frozen over. Then he jumps up on the ice and jumps up and down like he is trying to break the ice. He finally gave up and just licked the ice some!

    Squirrels are far more intelligent that most people give them credit for aren't they? :-D

    Too bad you didn't have your camera at that moment. Sounds like it was a funny site to see.

    That would have been a site to see. Imagine if he would have broke through and took an ice bath.

    But are there any squirrel-size ice picks out there, I wonder? Poor little chap.
