Sure enough, there is usually a squirrel on the feeder just staring at the house. I crack up every time!
I feed squirrels too! Last year, I had a wooden basket at the back door that I would put nuts and seeds in for them. One day I had not gotten to it yet, and I heard my screen door rattling. When I went to check, a squirrel was spread eagle on the screen, claws in the mesh, shaking it, and when he saw me coming, he jumped down and sat next to the wooden basket, while his two buddies stood back a bit more. I got some peanuts out and he stayed very close to the basket as I filled it, and the look on his face was precious. I think he was saying thank you! LOL!
