Lunchtime

I received a suggestion from @Weezilou to provide sunflower seeds for the squirrels. Great idea! Now the squirrels have their own feeder and hopefully won't bother the bird feeders.

[Diane]

Great idea, you have captured a nice shot of him/her enjoying a feed. Nice lighting too!

[Milanie]

I may try tempting one like that - if the birds will let the squirrel have a chance at it - they've been on a feeding frenzy lately. Love this cute shot of your squirrel.

[Lisa Malecki]

great idea. these guys eat my mangos, guavas etc. I'm lucky to get any

[Richard]

Nice capture! That is quite the pan of seed you have for them! :)

@dianeburns Thank you so much for commenting, Diane!

@milaniet Thanks so much, Milanie! The cardinals helped themselves to the sunflower seeds today but left as soon as the squirrel appeared. :-)

@woodlandsphotog Thank you for your comment, Richard! Yes, I tend to put out a lot of seed. :-)

[Louise & Ken]

Now *THAT's* one happy chappy, Gayle! I'm so delighted you made the squirrel very happy, you got the darling picture, and I'm happy that I could share this information! Don't you just LOVE this site?!

[Gayle]

@Weezilou He was definitely happy and just like you said, he kept coming back for more and stayed right there to eat. Excellent suggestion! Thank you so much! Now I just have to work on getting him/her to eat from a cup I'm holding like the squirrel whisperer does - YOU! :-) Yes, I really do love this site! It has broadened my horizons in so many ways besides photography. It's quite amazing! :-)

[Issi Bannerman]

Feed the squirrels! Lovely shot Gayle of that fat, happy chappie!

Squirrels are often domesticated and grateful subject for photography.

Ah, what a cute capture. What a lovely sight and great idea to give them their own feeder.
