A couple of squirrels are twitching at the base of my bird feeder.  One has just attempted to thwart the long cylindrical baffle by shimmying himself up into it.  It didn’t work.

I suspect that’s why he’s consulting his bushy-tailed buddy.

“How can we beat this thing?” he wants to know.  And within a few minutes, I know he’ll be back – maybe trying the shimmy again.  Maybe trying another giant leap from the Japanese maple onto the feeder itself.
