My Squirrels

I've probably posted pictures before of my big, fat squirrel who hangs upside down to eat from my bird feeder.  As I've been sitting here updating my blog, I've been watching him enjoy a mid-day snack!  He's normally very deft at stealing a few seeds, but today after many failed attempts to regain his grasp, he hit the ground.  His sudden entrance through the top of the Hosta scared a chipmunk but Fat Squirrel seemed fine.  A few minutes later a smaller squirrel tried the same acrobatics - with the same result, except he slipped before his efforts were rewarded with even one bite.  Poor guy!

I do love my backyard birds and squirrels.  I wish I could take Fat Squirrel with me when we move!
