Thwarted Again

 

This poor black squirrel was sitting looking at this pole which had a full bird feeder up top but also had 3 barricades along it to stop his ascent. He was sitting looking at it for a while and paid no attention to me.

Ha, the squirrel has to find his food elsewhere.
The Black Squirrels are pretty, we do not see them here.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.

Squirrels are great at solving complex problems, but this squirrel may have met his match.

I don't think the poor squirrel will go up!!
He needs to find another way to get treats!!
Have a nice weekend!

I can see those wheels a turning. He's making a plan. What a great shot.

Maybe the birds will scatter some seeds down on the ground! He sure is a cutie!

Bill said...

The squirrel had to rethink his plan and come back later. :)

It is not easy to thwart a squirrel.

Cloudia said...

We can see him thinking in your excellent photo!

I bet he will figure out a way to get to the bird seed!

Sometimes they figure out a way to get the seed but that does look quite a challenge.

Never seen a black squirrel, so cute! Be well!!

Andrew said...

A victory, with quite some effort.

Ohhhhhh, poor wee one!
I put up barriers for my strawberries, too. But I feed my "Peanuts" walnuts (otherways they throw a fit and destroy what they can - they taught me well to serve them ;-)...)

He'll figure it out.

s.c said...

Yes how to do that. It needs a new place to find food I think.
