The acrobat

The greedy little squirrel is constantly at the bird feeder now. I mentioned it to my neighbor, but he said it’s his wife’s bird feeder and that she likes squirrels.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

On the lookout, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/320 f5.0 @ 300mm iso 160 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I guess live and let live is the best approach. Gotta hand it to the squirrel as far as agility and raw ability though.

These guys are adept at accessing even 'squirrel-proof' feeders, but I do love to see them and I feed them too! V

Another fine close-up Helen! I think your neighbours are doing the right thing to let him go, he also tries to survive..... V
