Most of the squirrels eat early in the morning and occasionally at twilight, but now and again, we get a midday squirrel.
Most of these look as if they’ve been injured. This one has a tail that looks like something took a bite out of the middle. Otherwise, he seems okay. No big scars or wounds, but he has had a fight with something. A fox maybe?

He also wants to live on the deck. Short of going on to the deck and acting like I’m going to “remove” him from the feeder, he is willing to spend the entire day on the deck including lounging in the sun on the railing.

My feeder nemesis in action… used to battle with them all summer… now out put out corn on cobs and they leave the feeders alone… who says squirrels aren’t smart.

This kid looks so skinny? Needs some comfort food. Chicken soup?

I’m pretty sure if I left the kitchen door open, he’d stroll on in.

He looks so healthy and so big Marilyn. Is he bigger than the rest of them?

A little smaller than some, but not much. more or less normal size. He’s less fat and longer.
