Country Cousin

I'm used to city squirrels...roaming my yard, chattering from the trees, chewing holes in the bird feeders, living in my attic, and even once greeting me face to face when I opened a cabinet in the butler's pantry! *shriek!*

Here in somewhat rural North Carolina we have one squirrel that comes anywhere near the house. Just one. This one squirrel shows up infrequently to browse around the ground under the bird feeders. So here it is. Note the squirrel baffle at the bottom of the bird feeder pole. It blew off again and I haven't gone out to mount it back up on the pole yet. Maybe I shouldn't bother. Never once does our squirrel try to climb the pole, baffle or not. That sure ain't no city squirrel! :-D
