Marauder

In the woods behind our house lives a family of squirrels that LOVE the fact that we put food out for the birds! We put out a corn cob for the squirrels too but the bird food must be tastier because as I sit at the kitchen window I often see this in the feeders. It is an ongoing battle for the food.

Oh Katy, this is a fantastic capture of this mischievous squirrel. So great.

[Kay Hodges]

Beautiful capture and lovely detail!

@anazad511 Thanks, Ana! As upset as I get I still like to watch his antics.

[katy]

@kbird61 I am really glad you like it, Kay. Thanks for the FAV too!

[Chrissie]

Great shot. They are cute little pests!

[Françoise]

Another lovely shot - great detail. When I lived in South Africa we had the same problem, but with vervet monkeys. It's really annoying.

[Hope D Jennings]

Adorable capture Katy!

[Maggiemae]

Is this using your zoom? Its such good focus and it still must be a distance from your kitchen table!

[Rick Schies]

They are never happy. They like variety

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Oh, that "dirty rat!" He is so sneaky! Hope you had a good day, Katy!

[Jo Henn]

Great capture!

[Claire]

I do love squirrels, this is such a cute shot

[katy]

@chrissieh Thank and I have to agree with you.

[katy]

@kiwiflora Lol! I can't even begin to imagine saying that about monkeys! That sounds so funny to me! Thanks for the nice comment.

[katy]

@mzzhope Thanks, Hope. I am glad you like it.

[katy]

@maggiemae Thanks i did use my zoom but our feeders are only about ten feet outside the window so not much of a distance at all.

[katy]

@digitalrn So true!

[katy]

@espyetta Thanks MB! That made me smile!

[katy]

@johenn So nice of you, Jo. Thanks

[katy]

@claireuk They are fun to watch. Thanks, Claire.

[Jan K]

What a cutie!

[Gillian]

Lovely capture of the little pest ;)

[katy]

@jankoos @kwiksilver thanks ladies. I appreciate it so much.

[Laurie]

Oh my goodness!!! So cute! Love the way he is holding his arms! Fav!

[m9f9l]

Yes, looks like he's doing the evil hand rubbing.... I like the way the light is in his ear and his tail.

[katy]

@luvmynynix Truly very nice of you to give it a Fav. Thanks, Laurie!!

[katy]

@m9f9l Thanks, Mary. We were blessed with a little bit of sun that day to make that possible.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Brilliant!! beautifully done!...so much fun to watch them all do battle I imagine!

[Jason Daniels]

Are they not just rats with fluffier tails?

[Darlene]

What a great capture of this squirrel. I cannot believe how well you are doing with your photos, simply amazing. Cute that they love the bird feeder over the corn cobs. Wonderful detail, Katy. FAV

[katy]

@ruthmouch Thanks a bunch, girl and you are right. At least it entertains me.

[katy]

@bobfoto I guess you could look at it that way.................if you want to look at the world literally.

[katy]

@darsphotos Once again, Darlene , you are entirely too generous with you praise and FAVs. Thanks so much.

[Marilyn Wigen]

Great shot... he looks as though he is looking around to make sure he doesn't get caught! :)

[katy]

@marilyn Lol! He sure does. Thanks!

[Lisa Poland]

You should check into a Squengee, it's a bungee cord that you hook corn cobs to. Keeps squirrels busy and out of bird feeders, and it's fun to watch. http://www.amazon.com/Squngee-Deluxe-watch-Squirrels-Bungee-Jump/dp/B005XKRVAY

[katy]

@homeschoolmom What a neat idea. I'll have to check into that!!

[Lisa Poland]

@grammyn We bought one a few years ago while on vacation. But, we are about to move for the 3rd time in 3 years, so we still have it in the closet waiting to put up. Hopefully, when we get to NC we will have squirrels and be t here longer than a year.

[katy]

@homeschoolmom Ouch! All that moving is a pain!!! I think there are squirrels in NC. and I hope you are there for at least 3 years to enjoy them.
