I caught this guy hanging on to our bird feeder trying to get a meal. I guess I can't blame him.

Lovely critter, and very well captured. Now, that's a cute trick - 'click "Purchase" for larger image'!

Hi Dennis,

Cute shot - these guys are really hard to keep off the feeders...persistent little devils.

Bit of an awkward situation with this shot: As per the posting guidelines (see link called "Posting Guidelines" at right side of banner above) "Photos of baited wildlife are prohibited". While I'm sure you didn't fill your bird feeder with the thought of capturing a photo of the squirrel for posting here, some would argue that this is a photo of "baited wildlife". Anyway...now at least you're aware of the guideline (I'm guessing you weren't before) and others will be too...

Cheers...

Brad

This shows the persistence that squirrel s have. Nice color and good dof.
