An Invader

How would you describe a squirrel? Words such as persistent, acrobatic, determined, and trickster are my first thoughts. I remember my dad waging war to keep them off our bird feeders and to his frustration, with little success. My favorite attempt was when he greased the pole, but these clever rodents were still able to reach the birdseed. My backyard is wooded, so I use suet feeders which until today had not attracted squirrels. It was entertaining to watch him try to reach the seed. Watch the antics here.
