One to many jumps on this one......
Trixie chases them up a tree for me and then she waits and waits and waits for them to come back down. She loves the chase, but bless her heart they go down the opposite side of the tree and are gone. She doesn't have a clue, she is frozen looking up. She has so much patience. I've seen her sit in one spot for hours!
A break in the rain has brought the birds out to eat too. I think they are preparing for the next round of downpour.
Guess I'll go out and hang the downed one and fill the others.
Not for you squirrels....do you hear me??? Go eat some nuts!!!

What cute pictures, even of the pesky squirrels. We have tried so many different contraptions to keep the little varmits out but they always find a way. I must confess that sometimes I have a good laugh watching their antics.
I used to have a feeder that closed under the weight of a squirrel, they didn't give up until they knocked it out of the tree...I finally gave up!

Cute. The pictures, the story, the birds, and the squirrel. I have seen my mother in law fight off squirrels, don't think it is winning battle. I think the squirrels are fun to watch.
Oh we don't have squirrels, but I do know that they can really be a problem with the bird feeders. Sure wish I knew the solution.
Thanks for reading Laura's story, I knew it would truly inspire anyone that would read it. Hugs, Marty

How funny to find this about squirrels today on your site because about two hours ago I was watching them out my kitchen window thinking about how funny they are.
Thank you so much for the B-day wishes and get well wishes....

I don't know about the squirrels, but the Cardinals are very cool! I love Cardinals!!!
Oh My---everyone has a problem. I do have one blog friend who ordered a stand alone thingee for her bird feeders (all of them). She got it from Birds Unlimited I think... It was probably expensive --but after we pay for all of the extra birdseed, it might be worth our while to get one. She said it was working so far.
I think the squirrels can do most anything. I do NOT think they are cute or funny. I'm sorry but I cannot stand them. I fight with them constantly because I don't want them in or around the bird feeders.
Wish I had an answer for you, Nanny... It's a problem for most of us who feed the birds.
Hugs,
Betsy

Those pictures are great!
I'm jealous of your cardinal photos...mine around here are very camera shy...I don't think there is anything you can do to stop a squirrel....
I love your bird feeders...I enjoy watching SO MUCH. As for the squirrels? They are such agile little brats! Can't help you with those pesky creatures!
Have a wonderful Sunday Nanny!
We also bought this metal disk like thing that hangs over our feeder, but there's always one squirrel that can hang upside down and some how get their front paws onto the feeder, flipping over and set there and eat & eat till it's gone or knocked out onto the ground, then the birds get to eat to. Once in a while it foes fall down. They are regular little pigs, no matter how much you put out, there seem to be more squirrels.
Those naughty squirrels
I have plenty of squirrels and no bird feeders
so I am no help
Love the last picture
so RED and beautiful
Great pics! I'm so glad you stopped by to see me...I really appreciate it. I will cross my fingers for you & the giveaway. :-)
Brightest blessings,

Those are some determined squirrels! I love the pictures of all the wildlife- including Trixie! What a cute dog!
