This little mouse was attempting to steal bird seed from the feeder lol... first it shimmied up this pole....

then it jumped from that pole to the next one over with the bird feeder on it. They have amazing agility and balance!

it was actually in the feeder for a while eating seed... but all those came out blurry :( Then it climbed back up to the top and posed for another shot before taking a flying leap into the bushes... lol

    He was hungry!
    By the look of that tail he looks like a Kangaroo Mouse and not a typical field mouse.
