Caught in the act

Watched this little feller going up and down the feeder and WAITED. Caught him half way up....

Got a note from a friend this morning out of the Washington Post that said the Squirrels were 37 million years old, adapting to changing climates and habitats; Said their teeth never quit growing and they keep them short by gnawing. The article also said that in the very beginnng they were partially responsible for the spred of trees. They planted acorns and then forgot where they planted them.

Thought you might enjoy knowing this OC with a smile n his face.........
