For the Squirrel Lovers - They came out between showers for food also.
The Squirrels were after Sunflower Seeds and Peanuts.
For the peanuts the competition was between the squirrels and crows.
This one was dashing in and grabbing something and back to the flower bed wall to eat before the other squirrels, doves (after the sunflower seeds) or crows could gang up on him. The crows chased off the doves also until the peanuts were gone. Then they left. At times there were 2 or 3 squirrels and one always tried to chase the others away.

Jerry, fantastic photo.

Thanks very much.
My daughter saw it on Face Book and commented that I was over feeding this squirrel. She really should be too busy at Medical School to look at my photos instead of studying.
