Fat Squirrel

Well, the leaves are completely down in our yard. Winter is setting in. Rob filled our feeders this week and we have had lots of visitors! A mating pair of Cardinals, blue jays (occassionally), a mating pair of Downy Woodpeckers lives in our tree. Of course, all the sparrows and martins are out as well. And then there's this fat guy!

We just recently added this squirrel feeder because normally the squirrels devour our suets in a day or two. They have left them alone since we installed this. We don't have many squirrels, in fact, I think this is our only one. He likes to taunt Tate. He climbs down as low as he can, just out of Tate's reach and then shakes his tail at him. As soon as Tate lunges the squirrel backs himself up the tree, just out of his reach. It is quite hilarious to watch the two of them. Also Jourdyn's try-outs for basketball are Dec. 1st. Pray for her - she really wants to make the team!
