Contemplating His Next Move

Squirrels are so much fun to watch......especially trying to get at bird feeders.  I've seen them try one thing after another to get to the seed....to include catapulting several feet in the air only to miss the target (that was funny to witness.......ha ha). 

Today I watched this guy first climb the pole only to end up inside the squirrel baffle.  He tried a couple of times and then gave up.  For awhile he checked out the ground for spilled seed and then ran over to the palm and settled in the space behind where a frond used to be watching the birds at the feeder he was trying to get to.  He sat like this for some time as if trying to figure out how he could get to that feeder.
