Caught red clawed

I walked to the park on Friday looking for photo ops, but there was absolutely nothing – no birds, no squirrels, no early blossoms. But when I got home, I came across this greedy squirrel raiding my neighbor’s bird feeder. At one point he left and the birds took over, but then he made a giant leap from the fence and scared them all away. Finally, I shooed him away and left the feeder to the hungry sparrows.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Fabulous closeup. We finally gave up on bird feeders at our house because the squirrels kept dumping all the seed out. V
