This morning I watched this squirrel from my patio chair as he scampered through the bushes, climbed a little tree next to the bird feeder and launched himself onto the tray where he perched and gulped birdseed. There were some acrobatics-at one point he fell off the feeder but came right back. Finally there was no choice but to take down the feeder so he wouldn't knock it over or destroy it. I think birds were dismayed because the squirrel was hogging the feeder and they couldn't get breakfast.
