I guess it's a squirrel feeder too....

technically it's a bird feeder but of course the squirrels like the menu too!
method one: the dropdown






method two: the reach-over






acting casual:


"I iz like Tarzan!!!"


all pics were taken by a deer cam my bf relocated temporarily on the back porch. I do get birds on it too, but not many this time of year. I don't know if they're big enough to trigger the camera either.

He he heeee, great shots!

Once he knows there is food there, he will keep returning; and bring the family; and all the friends.

Love your captions! He he heee.

I don't mind them being there now that I have this all-metal feeder. They chewed up 3 or 4 plastic ones before that. I don't know if you can see the shading around the holes on the side of the feeder, but that's squirrel drool buildup. For some reason a few of them insist on pulling seeds out the little holes on the side (for attaching a suet basket) rather than the big holes in the trays.

Oh what a cutie pie, he deserves a good meal after all that hard work.

they're probably not all the same squirrel. I think those were taken over a couple of days and usually there's one on the feeder and 4 or 5 on the ground. Kinda surprised there aren't any others in the pics.

These are great pictures! Agile little critters, aren't they?

I love to watch squirrels at the feeders but sometimes they don't leave much food for the birds. I have a "squirrel proof" feeder with a metal cage surrounding it - I watch the squirrels curl up inside the cage and eat seeds to their heart's content. The squirrels can make amazing leaps from tree limbs to the feeder.
