My son-in-law, Rob, also suggested I post the photos I take of squirrels in my yard. This baby is eating sunflower seeds from a ground feeder. What I've noticed about squirrels is that, upon arriving, they first check the squirrel feeder's offerings. Then, they move to locations underneath bird feeders. When those areas do not excite them, they raid the bird feeders themselves, whether or not they are hard to get to. I have seen squirrels jump from atop our large, house-like feeder, two and a half feet, to a shepard's hook which holds a medium sized, gazebo type bird feeder. I've also seen squirrels slide down those shepard's hooks, unable to grasp the slick, cylindrical surfaces. They are quite the aeriolists!
