THE SQUIRREL - WINNER

I asked you which of the squirrels would be the first to come beg/eat today.
These were the potential beggars
A. Climber
B. Piggy
C. Scar
D. Lady
E. Acrobat
F. The Field (Other)

AND THE WINNER IS...

D. Lady

The heatwave continued, as we yet again set new records for high temps. By noon, the backyard was deserted except for the birds. So I waited until later in the afternoon. And even then, it was just too hot and all the critters were finding whatever shade they could find. And Lady found the right place to cool off. She was chilling under our patio table when I opened the door. At first she didn't really respond, but then slowly moved toward the door. She got her fair share, and then went back into the shade. I left a bunch of almonds out, and they eventually "disappeared"

Following are today's winners:

THE SQUIRREL

Our home has a wonderful backyard that borders on a small lake. We love sitting around and watching all the wild life from a bay window in our breakfast nook, and when it's nice outside, we sit on our deck and enjoy the view. We put up a bird feeder and a little squirrel house.



Besides the birds, we get squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, ducks, and more. Since my wife and I are retired, we enjoy feeding them and encouraging them to come into our back yard to play, frolic AND EAT

When it's nice, I feed them personally while sitting on the deck. As they are getting more used to me and less afraid, they like to come up and beg for almonds while I'm out there.
When the weather is bad, I stand at my back door and throw the almonds to them, and I spread a bunch of peanuts around as well.

This contest is simple... simply predict which of the squirrels will come up and beg/eat first. To make this easier, it's multiple choice and there are only 6 choices
Here is your cast of characters...

A. Climber

The true Alpha Male of our back yard. Fast, agile, aggressive and always chasing the others away

B. Piggy

Number 2 in the pecking order. A little slow, but big and doesn't scare easily. ALWAYS hunting for food

C. Scar

Scar has been in fight or "two" He is fast and aggressive, and will "mix it up" with the other squirrels. But also knows when to back away from a stronger squirrel

D. Lady

Always hanging around on the perimeter and will take a "roll in the tree" at a moments notice

E. Acrobat

While not an Alpha, Acrobat is daring and unafraid, making incredible climbs and jumps... but does sometimes takes a header

F. The Field (Other)

Our back yard attracts all the squirrels in the neighborhood, and some of them are really characters:
Wimp - is scared of everything
Itchy - constantly scratching
Stevie Wonder - smart, but blind as a bat
Thug - slow but huge
Rat - He looks like one with his pencil thin tail
And a host of others...

What is it?
