FOWC with Fandango — Intrigue
It’s not as complicated with this squirrel as it was with Moose and Squirrel. They had opponents, Boris and Natasha. This squirrel’s only concern is whether the birds are going to attack him if he sits down and has some brunch in the flat feeder.
I’m thinking. Where are Boris and Natasha when I need them?
I think I need an agent!
He’s been in and out of it all morning, but the little flock birds, especially the warblers, are getting a bit aggressive about a big furry guy plunked in the feeder and they dive bomb him as he munches. But Owen refilled the feeder this morning, so there’s plenty for everyone. They only seem to get possessive when the quantity drops kind of low … which take 3 days, by the way. These birds are very good eaters.
Pssst, birds. I’m hungry too!
I can smell the corn and the sunflower seeds! I’m gonna make a run for it!
He eventually made his way into the feeder where he stayed quite a while, but these were taken while he sat in the oak tree trying to make up his mind: to feed or not to feed? THAT is the question!

The birds don’t think the squirrel is cute, they know he can fit a lot more seed inside him than they can. They are not birdbrains.

The squirrels can consume a huge amount of food and really fast, so the birds go after them. That particular drama I leave to the furry and feathered. It’s their little war. I just watch.

I love watching squirrels as well and these are great catches..Unfortunately, my cats killed a squirrel today and presented it to me on the kitchen steps. Poor thing. They had devoured most of it, and it had the most incredibly foul odor! As though it had been there for days, but even worse..

They all kill each other. I found part of a bird in the house here. Just a few feathers, but I’m pretty sure there was a bird attached at some point.

Don’t get squirrels at our feeder. But pigeons are the feeder bullies. When they eat, everyone else has to wait. Sparrows toss the seeds out of the feeder onto the ground though – then eat them. Not sure why?

Our squirrels are a bit shy. We have a LOT of birds and if the squirrels spend too much time chowing down, they get quite beaky about it.

The light halo was actually (gasp) THE SUN! Shining on his fur. I wasn’t sure I got the shot because the sun was so bright and right in my face. But it came out like a heavenly halo 🙂

I suspect, that now he’s been a little reassured that he isn’t going to be pecked to death, he’ll come back for more goodies. What a cutie too! ❤

He was getting some serious flack from the little birds, but I think they all calmed down after Owen filled the feeders.

He isn’t here every day, or at least not while I’m here to take his pictures. The birds sometimes harass him, though they are little birds and eventually he? she? plops down in the flat feeder and does some serious eating.
