Enjoying Corn [Literally] on the Cob

Our Amish neighbor gave us some corn shocks to put out as a decoration just before Thanksgiving. When Thanksgiving was over I removed what was left of the corn cobs. The squirrels and chipmunks had partook of the goodies while they were out. I forgot about them and came across them yesterday and so I attached a board to this tree and stuck the cob on a nail. This morning we found this guy had been very busy.
He seems very happy with your new offering - going at it with both hands! :)

@annied @danette - I had seen other people do this. I remember being at a man's house where he had a wheel about 18 inches in diameter that had cobs attached at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock . The squirrels could turn the wheel so they could reach each one from a perch the man had made for them to sit on. I wasn't sure how long it might take for them to get brave enough to come to it, but it didn't take long!

@dmdfday - There was a smaller squirrel on the ground gobbling up what this one dropped. The cardinals were happy too as they were enjoying the fruits of his work and clumsiness.

@skstein - I am pretty sure he was as the cob was full when I put it out last night.

Those little feet are so precious, the way they hold the kernel of corn.

Terrific :)

How lovely, did he eat it all? Fav

Super capture. He is enjoying his meal.

Doesn't everyone stand on their food as they eat.

@ludwigsdiana - He ate all to the end where he was sitting. I went out later and turned the cob so he could finish.

@skipt07 now THAT was a considerate gesture!

What a lucky squirrel!

Isn't THAT a nice treat! Funny, but ours leave the corn behind, but in many pictures I've seen that their northern cousins like it a lot! Cute photo!
