Today’s photo of the day was an accident.

There are four squirrels in the photo. At one point in time, three were in the feeder at one time and that was why I grabbed my camera: to try and capture that. Sadly, I missed that photo op. I still thought I only had three squirrels out there when I snapped this one.

Then the squirrel in the tree (upper left) jumped from the tree to the rhodoendron and onto the house before it ran off.

Where’d he come from!

The squirrel on the ground followed shortly afterward.

The two still in the feeder are veterans.

Looks like old Rooster Cogburn & his mate.

He ducks for one last jawful of sunflower seeds.

He must have some vision in that eye because he was looking at me as I approached.

And there he goes. The mate was too busy stuffing her greedy face to be bothered with escaping.

Just in case you did not locate all four the first time. Two in the feeder, one on the ground and one peeking around the trunk of the tree.

Now there’s no seed left for the birds, but our squirrels are happy.
