I think squirrels are cute…but that does not mean I give them a free pass when it comes to raiding my bird feeders. I have invested in a set of \u201csquirrel proof\u201d feeders and suet cages that, for the most part, defeat the squirrels\u2019 attempts at criminal trespass. That does not mean they don\u2019t try, several times a day, sometimes once an hour. The idea of all that food, right there in easy view, is evidently just too much for them, even when past experience has proven that they can\u2019t get at it. It is entertaining to watch them, and I don\u2019t mind anything they take from the ground under the feeders, even when I scatter seed for the sparrows. If it is on the ground it is fair game. This mother squirrel is one of the pack of 3 or 4 who come to our yard every day. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Polarr and Apple Photos. <\/p>\n
