This squirrel was hungry, but didn't want to eat in the rain so it pulled down the feeder and just crawled right in. Spent all day filling up :rofl And yes...I'm not buying the cheap feeders anymore :D

    Very funny, but it did take me a moment or two to find the squirrel.

    I probably should of said it was inside the feeder :D I passed my rainy day watching him. If he got frustrated he would come out and start rolling it with his head.

    Thanks for taking a look Andrew and commenting......its something different then the "usual" and I wasn't to sure about posting it.

    Post away!!! It was funny as hell, and I'm glad you shared it. A little "where's waldo?" every now and then keeps the little grey cells charged....

    Very amusing shot. If these critters were not such a pain in the butt, they'd be a lot more likable. Good job on catching this one.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    That is a neat shot Mary K.

    When I was a kid I had one for a pet. He would run across the floor and jump on my leg, and run circles around me like I was a tree and sit on my shoulder. He would jump from my shoulder to the refrigerator or the chandelier. One day he jumped from my shoulder to the top of a door casing and it didn't work out for him, so he jump back with his claws out and landed on my head. I had scratches across my face and eye lid......My dad came home from work and saw that and Pauncho the squirrel went to the woods.:D

    These critters are a pain in the butt. The red ones are the worst as they will chew right into your house for warmth. Just threw this feeder away this morning. All broken up....dang squirrel!!

    Today....sparrows were going inside before I threw it away rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for commenting Tom :D

    You had one for a pet....lucky you :D Those squirrels are darn fast and fiesty. Sorry to hear it had to be taken to the woods ( I had a chuckle at that ) but your lucky you didn't get scratched on the eyeball. That's really painful and can be dangerous too.

    Did you ever see Pauncho in the woods? Just wondering if you went looking for him and if he remembered you.

    I'm glad the photos brought back some memories :D Thanks for telling your story...I enjoyed it thumb.gif

    Pauncho was first and foremost a squirrel .... He was becoming and adult and was developing issues.........:D He tore a hole in a porch rug and built a nest.... I was about 13yr old.... I loved him dearly, but he was quickly loosing support among other family members......rolleyes1.gif azzaro

    Love where this thread went. I just really enjoy it when photos can evoke strong memories.

    Mary Kim, I also had to look a couple of times to realize there was a squirrel in there, I just thought it was of the feederrolleyes1.gif . Cute little critter.

    I'm a squirrel lover myself-I blv we have a family living inside our roof--can hear them scrambling around--it's the raccoons that try and play the same trick that I don't like so much.

    Our neighbors tree puts out a new litter every year. This year there were 6 of them. And this is one of the 6. Cute when they appear, but a nusiance in about a month or so.

    Sorry about Pauncho, but I'm thinking he probably wanted to meet Mrs. Pauncho :D

    Oh dang...I should of said there was a squirrel in the feeder. People have probably been looking at it wondering "what the heck is wrong with this woman" rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif

    When I have taken a photo and it sparks a memory then I know I've succeeded in something. No matter how simple of a photo it may be. I'm glad Azzaro shared his story of Pauncho clap.gif

    Thanks for commenting and following the thread Liz :D

    Howdy Mary Kim,

    , Great capture, they are really crafty and so far they seem

    to win all the Battles I've had with them

    My Wife bought me a book for Christmas one year, it was titled 101 Ways to Outwit a Squirrel, only thing is I think that years best seller was 102 Ways to Out Wit a Human
    Take care,

    Those squirrel will always outwit us <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/rolleyes1.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >

    I have a series of photos I took of a squirrel trying to open up the feeder...its funny.

    We are down to two cheapie feeders now out of 4. Have a really good one, but the squirrels go through the seed so fast. Birds won't land on it if the squirrel is there. Guess I should buy the hubby a squirrel proof one someday.

    Thanks for looking and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it and could actually find the squirrel in the feeder <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/rolleyes1.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >
