We are Watching The Squirrel Winter Olympics 2010

When you live in a cold climate, the winters are long.

We find our amusements in our backyard. We have a feeder for the birds.

We enjoy watching them up close.

We have several other neighbors who like our feeder, too.

They are always looking for a free lunch, free breakfast, free snack.

It becomes a part time job to keep them away from the black

gold known as sunflower seeds.

If startled, the moochers will fly into the air and land with a thud!

It is about 14 feet to the ground.

We will show “The Moocher” in his dare-devil Olympic Class maneuvers……

The Time Trials Begin: How fast can we chase him away?

A few more Seeds before the Actual Events Begin.

Checking out the competition.

Hang Time.

The Clock Starts.

Slippery Conditions on the Vertical Planes.

Great Footwork.

Great Form on the Jump Today.

Waiting for his score and the adulation of the crowd.
