Never seen a spotted one before.

I have put a little chili powder in the bird feeder…the birds can’t taste it and the fuzzy tailed flying rats run away from it..rather fast i might add..

Gluttonbird, they show up in my yard from time to time. This incredible bird can eat 5 pounds of sunflower seed at one sitting, and never gain an ounce!

In my experience around ranches I have come to know these little cuties as a type of ground squirrel. I have also come to be known to shoot them on sight with whatever firearm I have on me at the time. They are destructive critters and occasionally carry pneumonic plague.
Great photographs of him though.

love the last shot...my husband put a trap under our big pear tree and catches the squirrels
that are lusting for pears...he takes them a couple of miles away to another neighborhood and
turns them loose. i think they find their way back though.
