Description
A local resident to my backyard property; or perhaps to the adjacent surrounding area, he is nonetheless a friendly and frequent visitor to my yard and to my bird feeders! Having long since given up the fight to ward the squirrels off; as anyone who's tried may attest it is darn near impossible anyway; I've instead decided to embrace their antics, abilities and wit! On this chilly day in winter, he paused long enough to give me a perfect pose; demonstrating equally I thought, his agility, strength and cleverness. Maybe a touch of mockery and earned confidence, as well. Either way, he sure always makes it look easy... Photo taken in the backyard of my home, in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
