I cut the dried heads off of two tall sunflowers from last summer. I put them on the patio for birds to finish cleaning them of seeds. I returned later to find a squirrel had destroyed one and was in the process of tearing the second one to shreds. I hope he got a belly full.

What a mess on the patio now! SO FUNNY!
The squirrel looked proper hungry, what a feast
A feast indeed! We should all be so lucky some days. 🙂
Aw, isn’t he cute? Guess he got a surprise feast.
Adorable! So busy, serious work!
It did a very thorough job.
By the time I got 20 seconds in, I was laughing out loud. He’s attacking that sunflower head with the determination of a critter who’s decided he’s not going to share.
Before I got the camera ready, he was even more furious about it. I’m glad you got a good laugh. They are funny critters.
Hmm. Reminds me of the Church Thanksgiving dinner last fall. 😜
Look at him go! I never got to see my sunflowers dry out because the squirrels snatched them before they could. I never did catch them in the act…just saw the missing heads…apparently a common thing.
Tree rats! A young visitor who stayed with us this weekend thinks they are cute. Wait until she grows up and one gnaws through her wiring.
Or gets in the attic or walls.
The squirrels always win. Always!
