    Determined Little Suckers

    Not quite "wild"life but I hope you find it as funny as it actually was.

    We hung up this feeder only a few days ago and this guy already learned how to unscrew the top. I watched him doing his best this evening and he even fell off, twice One time he fell backwards while holding on with his front feet. Missed that one - laughing too hard.

    It was about a 8' drop but he was uninjured.

    Particularly like that last shot. You got the part aobut being determined right. They can be a real problem with bird feeders. They will clean on out in no time flat.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    HMMMMM, try putting a 2-3 foot length of PVC or copper pipe above the feeder?(run the wire through it). That may stop them if it's slick enough? I find a pellet gun works best and the foxes, vultures and hawks thank you .
