F. The Field (Other) - Junior


It was another sunny but chilly Fall day. I was working out in the garage, so when I went to the back door, nobody had seen me in the kitchen. I opened the door, and one of our newbies was hiding out from the others. He is a much smaller squirrel that started appearing mid summer so we assume he's one of the kids. We call him junior. While the other squirrels pick on him, he's not afraid of me at all, and will come right up to my feet, assuming nobody else chases him away :lol: :lol: :lol:
He grabbed some almonds then headed for the bushes as the others came running. Everybody had a wonderful lunch.

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.

Image


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 :lol: :lol: :lol:

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 :lol:
Here is your cast of characters...

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

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

C. Scar
Image
Scar has been in fight or "two" :lol: 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
Image
Always hanging around on the perimeter and will take a "roll in the tree" at a moments notice ;)

E. Brown Belly
Image
Very friendly, and also very smart

F. The Field (Other)
Image
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
Acrobat - While not an Alpha, Acrobat is daring and unafraid, making incredible climbs and jumps... but does sometimes takes a header :lol:
Poser - The new girl on the block
And a host of others...
