Oh no!!! No! I am laughing because your “hopeful” squirrel is my “well-fed” squirrel. We have yet to best the little beasts – so for now I think they are the ones admiring (or deriding) our efforts! Feel free to reveal the secret of your success in coming haikus…
I can’t even keep feeders up at home! This one is stuck onto my office window and is just high enough off the ground that the squirrel can’t reach it, even when it launches itself from the window sill, to which it claws its way up the shingles! I had to move it three times, though, as it kept making higher and higher leaps! They are so wily for rodents with brains the size of peas.
