My wife had cut up an apple to include in our oatmeal this morning, so later in the day I dumped the core on top of the remaining corn in the Squirrel Feeder. Later I looked out and saw that we had a customer {pictures taken through glass door to our deck}

Yes, I wouldn't have posted them if it hadn't been for that one; the other two help setup a "story". This squirrel seems to be terrified of me - as soon as I step outside it runs; looking at these pictures, I see that both ears are somewhat chewed up, so it may have lived a tough life already.

You're right - I missed that. Poor baby!! I wonder what happened to the poor thing.

He does not look like he has missed too many meals. Cheers.

The land we live on is quite fertile. An animal would have to be truly incompetent to starve here. Our {grown}daughters refer to the bird feeder as "bribery" - the birds get food with less effort and I get photo ops. After I finally got a squirrel-proof bird feeder, providing something of their own just seemed like an appropriate way to respond to follow mammals - but I don't expect this to be a matter of life-of-death.
