The Angry Polesitter


A couple of weeks ago I showed you how the squirrels walk along the utility wires to reach safe places and that is the way these guys get onto my roof deck. I had just chased this one out of a planter where it was tossing dirt around looking for something. It took off along the wires to this pole and then sat there for a long time chattering away at me.

    You put the squirrel in its place and he didn't care for it.

    I had a squirrel visit me regularly to hide walnuts in my planters. I left him one with no plants where he could dig to his heart's content, but though it was the most accessible he simply wasn't interested.

    Squirrels are such fun to watch. This little guy doesn't look angry, he looks happy to be in a secure place. Perhaps this squirrel's chattering is just his way of saying hello.

    Back in the mists of time, it seems to me that pole-sitting was an actual thing. By humans, I mean.

    LOL, yes. They WANT!!!
    "Mine" just went dumb, though. There was snow and he/she did not find the walnuts...

    Hello :=)
    Squirrels frequently tell me off. They are cheeky, intelligent, and wily, and provide a lot of entertainment when they are not destroying your property. I love to watch them. Thanks for sharing your photo and story. I also have one on my blog.
