I have a little thief in my yard... lol.. Actually as you can tell by the pics it is a momma squirrel that has figured out a way of climbing up my bird feeder pole and stealing the nuts out of the feeder... Just a few fun shots of her thievery... enjoy...

She actually climbs up (what she holds on to I have no idea) the middle of the pole... then perches herself on top..


Then climbs her way over and down to the food.... She wraps her tail around the pole to help support her.. it is a kick in the pants to actually watch her... then she just hangs there hanging on to the top of the feeder with her back feet...


A couple close ups of her..

Love the close ups. Did you use your 80-200 that is in your signature?

Yes.. Mwcfire... I did yse my 80-200.. and I was pretty close to her.. I have been feeding her for a few months now and she is starting to get used to me.. I was about 4 ft away.. I am hoping that she brings her babies out to munch in a month or so...

Thank you everyone for the great and kind comments.. I am glad you enjoyed them !!!!

The last one is my favorite as well... They are definately cute little things....
