Hmm, why do I doubt the little guy?

Thanks
It could have been me pointing the camera out the open door or one of the dogs on yard patrol.

Looks like a running back with the ball tucked away. Cute shot.

You believe him, OK I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn, cheap, it is your's for $1K cash sent to me ASAP. Better hurry, it is expected to sell fast.

Thanks, the little pests are kind of cute, even when stealing the peanuts I put out to attract the Jays and Woodpeckers. Well, the crows help with stealing the peanuts.

Thanks, a pair have raised young in a tree on my block for several years. They use the fence down the middle of the block for their "Freeway to Food" and raid the feeders, vegetables and fruit trees up and down the block. Also the outside dog and cat feeder bowls which used to get raided by Coons, opossums and squirrels. Until my little Tara (Jack Russell mix) was almost a year old, she has gotten some tail hairs from the fast squirrels, killed a couple of opossums and almost drowned a Coon by not letting it out after she chased it into the swimming pool (I picked her up, and the Coon got out and over the fence). My wife's Shin Zhu just sat and watched - Toby did bark a couple of times, but I am not sure who he was cheering on. That was about 12 years ago, since the Coons and Opossums stay on the fence, the squirrels raid the bird feeders and Tara and Toby now have a doggie door, so they can live in the family room with myself and my computers/camera gear and of course their food and water dishes. When Toby is feeling extra lazy, he barks at the squirrels looking through the glass slider and blows out my eardrums. Tara may look and bark once, then go out the doggie door to give the squirrels some personal attention. Now that they are both getting elderly for their breeds, they often ignore the squirrels and concentrate on naps in their fuzzy dog beds. Or try to convince me it is treat time.

I think he had a peanut or sunflower seed tucked away. Thanks
