Squirrel raid!

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. :mad:

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

He's just being smart :D

You did pretty well through your window with a macro lens :) I love them :) And your story and images certainly brought a huge smile to my face :)

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