Squirrel Acrobatics

I've shared with you before some pictures of wildlife outside our windows at work.  In the last few weeks we've had groundhogs, bunnies, orioles, deer - and squirrels!

We have a few bird feeders and recently the squirrels discovered them and I got some funny pictures of one of them getting a little meal.

Mari, I've enjoyed going back through your blog posts and catching up on what I missed before leaving. I loved the tee shirt that the girls gave Bob for his birthday! SO cute! Congratulations to Terri's daughter and future son-in-law. The cupcakes look amazing.

We have some squirrels that live around our house and they are fun to watch. I have seen our squirrels performing similar acrobatics to get in our next door neighbors bird feeder. Fun pictures. Have a good week!

I'm back to blogging a bit and of course, I get to read some of my favorite friend's blog. The squirrels are cute! I love watching them do their nature gymnastics. Our dog Bo? Not so much!!

Their acrobatics to get food always amuse me. They must burn up all the calories before they even eat them.

How adorable. Good photos! We put a metal "skirt" around our birdfeeders to keep the little tree rats out. Then gave them their own special place with cracked corn. They are fun to watch. Blessings. 💙

We've got a couple of squirrels who appear to play tag on the palm trees in our back yard. They don't look hungry, so I don't feed them. Your pictures are cute!

Too funny their antics getting food. We only have black and red squirrels here and I like seeing the gray ones. Janice

What they don't go through just to get at the bird seed, haha.
Love the two shots of it looking right at you.

They certainly are determined and try all kinds of ways to get the food. Fun to watch them.

That squirrel is in hog's heaven! He's got that feeder full of corn all to himself and he's quite thrilled! They are cute, but they are pests too. We do have bird feeders, but I have them fixed so that the squirrels can't get into them, or else they would empty them out before the birds could get them! But the squirrels seem to find plenty of natural food around to eat. I know they aren't starving and they seem to keep reproducing! LOL. These were fun pictures! You have a lovely place!

Squirrels are rodents that I prefer to not deal with but, I have to say that they can be really funny to watch when they are out and about.

Those squirrels are so naughty! But I admire their tenacity. They are characters . Your photos are terrific. Thanks for sharing them.
