Squirrel in a tight spot
Yesterday we watched a very industrious squirrel remove the metal plate that covers the holes in the bird feeder. The plate allows only a certain amount of seed to be accessed and the squirrel obviously decided that he needed more seed. Once it was removed he then stuck his head in the now much larger hole to get his seed.
In this photo you can see how the other holes are and how he has removed the plate and stuck his head right inside the feeder.
As we were watching him, he decided that he needed even more access and actually got inside the feeder. He didn’t seem to like this much as he was soon out again but not before hubby managed to get this very amusing photo.
Talk about getting yourself into a tight spot!
We were also taking photos of the rabbit when suddenly a chipmunk popped his head up and hubby quickly took a photo. It wasn’t until we downloaded it that we realized the chipmunk had obviously just been digging and was covered in dirt. I hope he washed his paws before eating!
Wildlife is just great.

Thanks Mandy – I cannot get enough of the wildlife myself. Persevere with the squirrel – food is always the clincher.
