Birdseed thief

I caught this little fella and 2 of his raccoon buddies raiding the birdfeeders when I woke up this morning.
Unfortunately, this is a poor image but I thought it made a great action shot. My camera will be armed and ready for tomorrow morning!

Be glad it wasn't a black bear! Folks in some areas have to stop bird feeding because of the damage a hungry bear can do...

Great catch Stephanie!!!

they look like squirrels to me (which are related to the Australian possums)
don't be harsh on them, they must be hungry... maybe you can add an apple to the birdseed

if you put food out they'll sure claim it won't they!

Neat image, caught him red handed

He looks like he is laying back with a full belly! Caught red-handed, I see!;)

Mysterious fellow, love his black eyes!

Great catch Stephanie!
I caught a squirrel raiding the hummingbird nectar! (Or at least spilling it all over
the ground - ugh)

nice! It makes a great action picture. And he looks caught! Uschi (V)

He's even wearing a mask. Great catch.
