This is what happens when you pop out for breakfast before combing your hair and tidying up.

They are getting enough stuff on and around the log to leave the feeder alone right now. I hung the feeder from a tree branch on some wire, so it would be difficult for them to get to it. I know, they are clever and determined critters.
👍👍and keep saying Henry to them!😁😂

I told the Pup this morning that I need to hang a Henry sign out on the log we put some seed on. She agreed and said I need to take a picture of the squirrels hanging around the sign and post it here.

Sounds great, only I don't actually have a Henry sign. Perhaps I could use the box one of my Henrys came in.

Put a little corn on top of your Henry box and the squirrels will be happy to pose.

This may be a scarecrow for the squirrels. The cardinals don't seem to mind, although appear somewhat curious.
Maybe she wants a Henry for herself.

Well, the squirrels finally showed up.

And then he showed me what he thought of my Henry box. While I was trying to film, he shoved the box off the log.

Tried to get a picture of him in the act, but wasn't quick enough.

Getting a little better at the feeder pictures. I have a ways to go to get pictures I'm truly satisfied with. Still need to figure out something more aesthetically pleasing that this plastic feeder as a backdrop.

At first I thought it was a Hummingbird Moth, but upon looking it up I found it was a
Hummingbird Butterfly. It was fun to watch it fence with a real humming bird and a bee
that claimed the flowers as their own. The second picture is one I got online just to
show the butterfly better. The first one I took.

Another new visitor.

Appears to be a red bellied woodpecker. Please correct me if I'm wrong on any identifications. I'm new to this. I have trouble telling a hawk from a handsaw, depending on the direction the wind is blowing.
