Seed Snitchers.

10-30-20 SHORT HILLS: It continues to rain courtesy of Hurricane Zeta, the umpteenth storm of the season. It’s been a week since we’ve seen the sun.


I’ve been filling and refilling the feeders almost every day. There have been a lot of birds, especially grackles, but the mammals have been feasting also.


It started with chipmunks in VT, and squirrels here in NJ, but the last seed thief was a surprise. 



Chipmunks were a problem in VT uintil we put a baffle on the pole.

Squirrels get on the feeders in spite of the domes.

Then we saw these.

She's got her tongue right in there.

The dogs started barking and chased them away. There was about four minutes between the first and last pix, but notice the drop in the level of seeds.
