Squirrel Diner

Posted on 10/05/2019 by Ol' Big Jim

I had a lovely visitor on the back porch this morning. Mr Squirrel showed absolutely no fear of me as he dined on the seeds in the bird feeder.

I just love our back yard! So many squirrels, chipmunks, and birds of every size, shape, and description. I am such a very lucky man, aren’t I?

    I initially misread your headline and thought you were going to share a recipe. Ha ha ha. Glad to see you have so many friends in the yard.

    I gotta go along with John. I misread the title. (Knowing your humor, I’m not too sure it wasn’t intentional!) And by the way, you could have gone all day without mentioning squirrel dumplings! LOL, good pictures, Jim. And yes, you are a lucky guy.

    Great back yard! Squirrels can get pretty friendly, almost brazen at times.

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, then you have 10,000 words! And these pictures do tell just how these squirrels operate. They love to get into bird feeders. I never found a good way to keep them out and I guess you just decided to let them have what they wanted, too.

      Thank you for visiting, and for your kind words! Yes, we decided to just let the squirrels and chipmunks have their way with the feeder. It’s lovely to watch them enjoying it!

    Beautiful. It is a pleasure to watch them. We have them here too and they come to eat pieces of chapati we put out for them.
