was getting more than a little frustrated with a squirrel that had been getting
into a bird feeder that she had hanging on one of our apple trees in the back
yard. She came up with a plan to shut him down. She decided to hang the feeder on
the clothesline thinking that it would be impossible for the little rodent to
get at it there. Not only did the little guy pull it off but he did it with
style. She managed to get a picture of him in the act. Even Tom Cruise would
have to be impressed with this move!!!
Mom and Dad once strung a wire between trees from which to hang one of the bird feeders for a similar reason. One morning, the wire was down and the feeder on the ground. Then again. How strange. I came home for a visit and while lying in bed, heard a noise outside, "It must be the culprit!". I grabbed a flashlight and shone it into the yard, hoping to catch him in the act . . . It was a raccoon! And he was pulling the same stunt as that squirrel! Crafty critters probably share their strategies with each other! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have some pictures that went around a couple of years ago of a bear on a clothesline. I'll send them to you Dawn.
ReplyDeleteI always say, "where there is food and fellowship" there is always a way to get to it! One of my greatest regrets after the heart attack! (grin)
ReplyDeleteGuess you'll just have to go more for the fellowship part Bob :)
