Field Notes

Description:

This cleaver little guy likes to gorge himself on bird seed and has destroyed several bird feeders to satisfy his taste. Several battles have been fought over the last few months. The humans have invested in numerous "squirrel proof" gadgets only to discover that Mr. Fox Squirrel is smarter than we think.
