Oh those little ears are too cute!
Squirrel Pics Vol.15
Good close up Burd.
Nanny, sure does look hot, poor thing can't even stand , but bet the ground was cooler. lol
This female squirrel comes down to an old bone my dog has forgotten and uses it to gnaw on.
This one was cleaning up a bit.
Very interesting about the bone gnawing!!
Summer babies are coming over now and exploring......
Hang on!!
Guess nobody told him squirrels don't eat safflower seed..
Eating all that dry seed makes a squirrel awfully thirsty.....
Now off to the next adventure........
aww, very cute all!
Yes I have that same thing happening with the bone. Old picture… Sometimes they'll take it up the tree. crack me up
I may have to throw a bone out there for them! Buddy had such bad teeth he couldn't chew on bones.
It's funny to have a window open and hear the gnawing.
That's one way to keep those choppers sharp. ;) I didn't know, they chewed bones, but it makes sense.
He found the opening of the feeder.
Nice shots all! Yup just toss em a bone every now and then. lol
Cute burn!! I hear them chewing on branches, but never thought of bones either!
Peek-a-boo over the fence.
Short-tail showed up again today.
With a peanut.
Short-tail overhead.
Love the close up shots, GP.
Thanks, burn. I was glad to see short-tail, I had not seen him for a while.

YAY Shortail!! Can't believe he is still around.....mine don't seem to live long here. Too many predators I guess.
When the squirrel attempted to come down for her bone today my cat was nearby and went after her....so I decided to anchor the bone into my wire fencing....six feet up.
The gray one came back yesterday, but couldn't get a shot of him.
Nice shots all! I,m waiting for a bone to come along to throw out to the squirrel's. lol
Here's one that was giving me a hassle at the marsh today.
Trouble X 2!!
Looks like harmonica practice nanny. lol
LOL....Good one Burd!
Here is the squirrel working on the bone.
Gotta get me a good bone!
This chipmunk standing on the edge of the birdbath with it cheeks full just cracked me up!
GP, for the life of me, I can't figure out how that bone from my yard got to your place!! ;)
My dog loves bones, so there are always a few in the yard.
Those teeth must be some sharp!!! GP.
Nanny, how can he ever drink with it's mouth full, lol. Yes for you have double trouble. Did you bring out the corn yet? I have a nephew who grows corn for his cows, and he told me, I can come get some for the birds.
Burd good shot of the trouble make.
I think this one was smelling a rat.;)
Nope...have not put any corn out yet. I need to replace my cob holder. The one I had a neighbor made for me but it is falling apart now.
This one was working so hard to bury a nut....
and all done now!!
Does anybody know how they manage to put a big ol' black walnut in the bottom of a planter but NOTt have dirt thrown all around??? I am always baffled when I empty my pots in the fall and find all the nuts buried in the bottom! lol
Never had that happen to me yet, so can't answer you. ;)
I now have, 3 squirrels running around. 2 Red, and 1 gray. OH trouble for me this year.
He's on top of the suet feeder here.
If there was such a thing as an Olympics for critters, the squirrels would certainly be gold medal favorites.
Nanny, I think it is because they have those tiny, precise paws. and then you see they like to push stuff back on top of it so you don't know it's there. My yard sprouted a bunch of peanuts this year. The neighbor has a hickory tree so I have those things coming up everywhere too.
