Playing with Peanuts

IMG_6373


Remember the squirrel I played peek-a-boo with at mom's house?  I also tried to feed him/her and the others some peanuts.  My family watched me attempt to get a peanut in the hole.  First I tried tossing it, nope, I could hit the hole, but never made it in.  Finally, I put the peanut in a crack in a long branch and raised the branch up, after several attempts I was able to knock the peanut off the branch and onto the ledge of the hole.  I managed to get 2 peanuts in the hole, then we waited and watched.

Finally, a squirrel came out and we watched the peanut disappear.

  1. It was nice of him to pose for you. What an obliging squirrel. When does that happen? Fun photos, Lisa.

  2. How fun, I can almost see you throwing that peanut up there LOL Maybe that is what I need...a feeder of peanuts and then my bird feeder (but I have a feeling the squirrels would finish off the peanut and then the bird food!)

  3. I love watching squirrels. This one is particularly adorable with the nut in his mouth.

  6. Oh that's just too cool!!! You are obviously VERY patient. I would have been so frustrated the squirrel would have packed his bags and moved to another state due to all the noise (I was making).

  7. Cool - if you had given him 10 he probably would have tried to put all 10 in his mouth :)

  17. The squirrels that rob my bird feeders compensate the loss by being entertaining. They are clever little fellows.

  18. Funny how you had to be tricky with a tricky squirrel to get him the nut.
