I received a report from my wife that a sole attack squirrel has braved the bird feeder milk jugs to reach the bird feeder at the top! Quickly the attack dog, Ninja, was disbursed to the site to chase away the squirrel. All of the squirrel involved or watching this feat hightailed it to safer grounds and began their chattering at the dog while the dog reciprocated with barking. Thus far it has been a stand off. Later with the dog restricted to the indoors the attack squirrel once again attempted to climb the structure only to have the milk jugs twist and turn and then he plummets to the ground. This is a persistent squirrel as he has made about a dozen attempts to once again reach the top. My wife is trying to get pictures, but the squirrel is not cooperating.
More news will be forth coming.
Sunday was a busy day for the birds and squirrels in our Normal Back Yard. At least six squirrels were spotted, none as daring as todays. Among the birds spotted were Blue Jays, Northern Cardinals, both male and female, House Sparrows, White Breasted Nut Hatch, Doves a plenty, Starlings, Crows, Downey Wood Peckers, Dark Eyed Juncos, a Carolina Wren and three Gold Finches.

Oh, glory, that is hilarious!
Throw out a couple peanuts, easy to pick up off the ground, just to keep him coming around.
