Squirrel acrobatics make for high birdfood bill

Squirrel acrobatics make for high birdfood bill

We've gone through a ton of birdseed this winter: usually they're empty
within 2 days. Yeah, yeah, the birds are pudgy here in our garden, but I
couldn't believe they were eating it all.

Today I saw it. Hanging sideways, gripping to the tree with its hind legs,
this squirrel. Whenever I got close to it, it would bark. Here it is as it
ran up the claredendron and into the wysteria, barking at me the entire
time. Within 5 minutes, it was back in the tree.

I've moved the feeder.
