Since I have put bird feeders in my yard I am getting lots of birds but I am also getting lots of squirrels. They must be getting used to me because today I walked right up to this guy and took a picture. He didn't even move. He just kind of looked at me as if to say " What Else Have You Got !" some nerve. I did think it was kind of cute and I really like animals so I went in the house and brought him out some peanuts. He really likes the nuts. Anyway, hope you guys like this., this is the closest any squirrel has allowed me to get

Every time I open the door the squirells RUN LOL. I don't know how you do it Don- wish I knew your secret. He looks like he is not afraid of you at all and looks as though he could be a mean little son of a gun if he wanted to.Great close up. I'm jealous LOL.
