Do you see what I see???

This cold, crisp morning as I gazed out across the lake...I see my little friend Mr. Squirrel has crawled INTO the "Squirrel Proof" birdfeeder! This is the young one that I've been feeding vanilla wafers this fall. He's a cutie and will set on the deck and beg just like a puppy. I can't believe he was small enough to squeeze through that little hole, but I did see a big Cardinal in there last winter and I thought it would be trapped for sure. The way he was eating this morning, it won't be long before he cannot do this magic trick...he will be too fat! For now he's at the GrannyMountain Buffet, kids under 5 FREE!

  1. Well, I must admit that's a cute picture, but I just can't have any sympathy for squirrels right now. They were clawing away in our walls last night. Sigh!

  3. Oh my gosh that is hysterical!! Just when you think it's full proof along comes a child or small animal to prove it wrong. :)
    Stop by for a chance to win a stocking or give it as a gift. Hugs. Tammy

  9. That is so cute!

    I went through a couple of squirrel proof birdfeeders before I found one that really works. It closes each opening with the weight of a squirrel, but not the birds. Have been using it for several years now!

  11. Mr. Squirrel is alive and well, he didn't have a bit of trouble slipping out of the bird feeder hole! But the way he was eating, it won't be long and his big tummy won't fit through! It's a love/hate relationship we have with the messy little squirrels but the seed is there for anyone who stops by the buffet!
