Squirrel raid!

[A.M.D.A.]

This morning a squirrel finally had the courage to jump onto a hanging feeder... and proceeded to dump ALL the seed onto the ground (see pic #1), making a HUGE mess. I guess it is easier for him/her to eat from the ground instead of the wildly swinging feeder, squirrels are heavy. Taken with my macro lens through a glass kitchen door. #3 is uncropped.

RATS ! ! !, with furry tails - can you say "nuisance" ?
Cute though.

I usually don't like to see feeders in a wildlife shot however theses are too cute.

Sadly, they can't be defeated....

Sadly, they can't be defeated....

I agree...

I have given up with trying to stop them.. too much stress involved with it.
