Thank You, Mr.Squirrel!

 It has been wonderful to have a stick-on-the-window bird feeder. I love watching all the birds coming to the window to feed.  So many birds, many I do not recognize.  I love the little crested guys and the large red Pierre Cardinal.  I was so surprised that Pierre actually came to the feeder.

Last week one day I came out into the dining room and saw that a big fat gray squirrel was sitting squarely in the feeder.  Part of his hips were even hanging over the edge!

Well, a few days after that vision of squirrel, I came outside and found that the feeder had come off the window.  I am totally sure it was the squirrel and his hefty eating causing the problem.  Since the feeder did not seem like I could keep it on the window because of that interloper and in order to keep from having the feeder broken I set it on the stool that was under the window and filled it with seeds.  The birds kept coming though I had to go to the window to look down where they were feeding in order to enjoy the view.

Today I came home from a visit and this is what I found:


It is my considered opinion that this is another squirrel aftermath.  Thank you, Mr. Squirrel...I guess this time he has won. R-r-r-r!
