3. I love Squirrels!

We have a family of squirrels in the backyard that I just love watching. Yes, they make a mess and sometimes scare away the birds, but I love watching them climb the bird feeder poles to get to the seed in the bird feeders. It is especially fun to watch them when we've had rain. Takes them several tries to shinny up the pole. It's a spiral twirl downwards until they dry off the pole, but they never seem to get dizzy. Hope everyone is okay. Thanks for the lovely photos! Take care.
