Thank you all for your comments! And yes, he does have a high vantage point as this is the beam going across the top of the structure over the library entrance. And @kvphoto -- I also hope he's not finding a way into my house but my daughter says I can't complain when that happens because the squirrels think I like them and they're my family. I did have squirrels in my attic years ago but that's been resolved so I hope they don't find their way back in. And also at a different point, I had a squirrel in the basement while I was out of the country in Bahrain and my mother shut the squirrel into the laundry room so the squirrel chewed through the door to get out. We finally got a cage to trap the squirrel and released it in the woods. @k9photo -- it's not a bird feeder but the wooden structure built over the library door to match the structure at the back door. We had to leave a gap of a few feet with no connecting roof to avoid paying taxes on this extra building behind our main house. Thanks again for all your many comments on all the squirrel photos.
I love the detail in your squirrel photos, and also your stories about them. I like watching them taunt the cats in my yard, but my granddaughter hates them because the ones on her college campus can be aggressive from years of being fed by the students.
@jgpittenger@Eudora He's definitely my backyard family -- and he's quite tame but thankfully, not aggressive. My squirrels provide so much company and entertainment!
