Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed I have been having a strange visitor to my hummingbird feeder over the last few weeks. My husband first told me about this, but I had to see it to believe it. My feeder is hanging off the side of my deck. I was watching it one day last week, when a squirrel ran up on my deck, hung over the deck rail, attached himself to the rail by his back feet, and proceeded to reach over to the feeder and tip it so the liquid would start spilling out. Then he leaned over and began drinking from the dripping feeder. I have never heard of a squirrel with a sweet tooth before. Has anyone else ever had this experience with sqirrels and hummingbird feeders? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
