Slappy Squirrel

It just baffles me how she gets past the baffle... we had a discussion about it this morning.

Cunning and dexterous little blighters they are.

Thank you! I have plenty of opportunities with this one, since the feeder is line of sight of my desk. I got the second shot to capture the shadow of the squirrel and feeder, but had some focusing challenges.

Does it jump over from the fence?

Does it jump over from the fence?

The feeder is 8.5 feet (2.6 meters), which is supposedly far enough from the fence to prevent that. I may have to raise the baffle up higher, out just accept that Slappy needs to eat too.

I figured it was farther away than it looks in the photo.
