Inappropriate Squirrel Pictures

That's your warning.

A few months ago, the boy and I decided to buy a bird feeder to hang near the kitchen window.
We've had the most fun watching (up close) all the sweet little birdies come and go and eat.
And these birds can EAT.
No one warned me I'd have to take out a loan to keep these feathered hogs happy.
I fill it up on Monday morning, and by Wednesday morning... it's empty.

We've seen some cute tiny brown and orangish red birds. (Note to self: Google them.)
We've seen the fat babies of these guys.
We've seen an occasional Blue Jay.
We have a dove family or two that eat from the ground underneath. And one dove that attempts to hang on and eat from the feeder.
The coolest by far was a beautiful red-headed woodpecker. Isn't he supposed to peck bugs from a tree? Why was he eating at our bird feeder?

But the latest amusement has been 2 persistent squirrels.
They wait (and play!) on the play fort in the yard, then they climb the wall.
From there, they hang onto the window screen and lean out to the feeder.

Here he(?) is in all his squirrel immodesty. And Cat#2 checking him out.


Apparently, Cat#2 thinks she can swat him from inside the window.


And here's Mr. Squirrel eating up my birds' birdseed. It's coming out of his allowance next week.


And here he is right after I told him exactly WHAT part of him I took a picture of.
