A miscalculation!
I've been marveling at the fact that the squirrels who come to eat the seeds that I scatter on the ground for the birds have never looked up to the feeders. That changed yesterday. After deciding the "squirrel proof" feeder was too much work, this one decided he would have a go at the suet feeder. It only hangs about 2 feet off the ground! His leap was short and it was a scramble to get himself attached enough to try to eat any of it. At which point, I stepped in and discouraged any further attempts. :)
