Squirrel Snatches Treats in Broad Daylight

I was thrilled to view these short video clips of my squirrel buddy. It's been visiting the feeder daily, usually once or twice.
The squirrel is courteous (unlike the raccoons or even some of the birds) and does not take all the food. To be fair, there are plenty of other yummy snacks available: peaches, tomatoes, mulberries, blueberries, blackberries, and grapes, all of which are growing on our property.

This squirrel is adorable. I have a longer video that I'll post tomorrow. I was watching my birdcam livestream, and it appeared, so I started recording.

Cute sweetheart ❤ I love squirrels 🐿❤❤ 😊

[@MyOutdoorWildlife]

I do, too. This evening, the same squirrel was at the feeder. It stayed a while, so I have a lot of videos. I'm editing them now. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Staring directly at the cam no shame at all 😂😝🐿💜

😁✨👍

Yeah, that made me laugh. It says, "I know you see me! I'm letting you know I'm taking a break from your garden to raid the feeder!"

So cute! Love the thumbnail for this one too!

This is the most adventurous of the squirrels. The Birdcam is close to the house, and the most aggressive feeder activity is at this Birdcam. However, I see it often trek to the feeder (using the fig tree as a camouflage).

Wherever there are nuts, you will find squirrel in the mix 😂

This is very true.

So cute, haven't seen our two squirrels for a few days

[@MyOutdoorWildlife]

It is a cutey. I loved the way it sniffed the camera.

Hi ya.... enjoying your videos. I'm on the mid-coast in Maine, and have pretty much the same cast of characters at my feeder. Although no Black Crested Titmouse. I'm curious what part of the country you are in? And I havent seen any chipmunks in your vids; they are huge thieves at the feeders here. Sunflowers sprout all over my garden from them caching the seed.

[@MyOutdoorWildlife]

I'm in Maryland. Maine is on my must-visit list. I occasionally see chipmunks; however, they prefer being further back in our woods. Eventually, I'll set up a TrailCam back there to record activity. Thanks for stopping by. :)

@@MyOutdoorWildlife Ha...I wouldn't have guessed Maryland! Thanks for the reply. We moved to the coast here from Vermont about six years ago- it really is beautiful. Was out seeing the puffins a few days ago. I'd suggest visiting in late April/early May, before the millions of tourists arrive. Happy birding!
