Crazy Squirrels!

We purchased a humming bird feeder in hopes that it wouldn't take long for it to be discovered. We're still waiting for some humming birds... I got a little impatient so I decided we needed a regular bird feeder because of have a couple of cardinals that are both beautiful! We hung it up right outside our living room window. We thought for sure it wouldn't take long at all for them to find this feeder! We're still waiting for the cardinals to come close to it...

The birds haven't been brave enough or adventurous enough for the feeders, but you can always count on one animal to be creative. This creature is a cute, bushy tailed, small eared, beady eyed, grey squirrel. We have three of them that love our backyard. As I was trying to attract the cardinals by sprinkling their feed in the yard, the squirrels took advantage! They look so cute out there sitting right under the window just eating so fast.

Two days ago, we were sitting in the living room watching tv. We heard this scratching sound and both looked outside from the direction of the sound. Our eyes spotted a squirrel, climbing up our window, half on the screen, half gripping who knows what. Perdi spotted it as well and went crazy trying to get up in that window to get it. The squirrel got scared and ran off. Snickers also loves to sit in the window and watch them in the yard. This has happened several more times and were able to get pictures. We love the squirrels and are planning on buying some squirrel food just for them.

Snickers also discovered a really BIG stink bug on the same window and was trying to get it. The bug was on the outside (Thank you Jesus!) so it was kind of cool to watch. I was able to get a video and ended up capturing the moment Snickers pawed at it and it flew away. Enjoy the pictures and the video below.

We've got our eyes on you!
