- on approach to the feed dispensing tray while hanging upside down from the side of the feeder
- snatching food from the tray without putting weight on the bar that closes the ports
- seeds in mouth, on the way back up top
- enjoying ill-gotten gains before repeating the process until that mean, two-legged creature comes out of the house to chase him
Meanwhile, I'll be sharing this over at communal global shortly... my today was total chaos due to the above mentioned home improvement project so I'm sharing this collage of squirrels from a few days ago.
Wow. Great captures.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly smart little critter! You caught him in the act: great shots!
ReplyDeleteThey are so sneaky! Made for great photos, tho. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness..love those shots!!! Thanks for linking up with us over at Communal Global :)
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I have the same feeder but the California squirrels are not as clever. I hope this squirrel doesn't tweet or blog about this technique.
ReplyDeleteSo cute - - - the little bird seed thief!
ReplyDeleteFisherhubby hung up a regular bird feeder, but he suspended it from a tree with FISHING LINE.
I watched a squirrel try to get it, but the fishing line was just too tough for him. He had to settle for picking up left-overs from the ground beneath the feeder.
Wow! Great captures! I guess those squirrels are too smart for their own good, right? LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha, these are great! I love watching squirrels figure out ways to get into bird feeders!

You have just shown exactly why we call these critters PESTS in Georgia, Victoria. Most people think of pellet/BB guns when the word squirrel is ever uttered! Don't you wonder how they got to be so smart?! Anyway, I do love your collage work. From one fan to another. :)
