Default Bird feeder burglar

Soon after we moved to Manitoba a red squirrel set up residence to feed out of the bird feeder. Just a little guy, but now these grey squirrels are moving in.

Nice photo Bob, but unless these old eyes are failing that looks like a coon stuffed in there.

Obviously the rare and endangered Canadian masked gray squirrel.

He's a persistent little guy. I flipped up the 1/2 roof with a broom and gave him a few nudges with a broom and he left. A few hours later at about 3:30 am our little dog started barking at the patio doors that open onto the deck where this bird feeder is attached at about eye level, and sure enough he was back in it. I flipped it open and gave him some encouragement to leave but he wasn't having any. It was just a degree or two above freezing and a light rain had started so I just closed it back up and left him. He stayed until the morning.
My wife saw the red squirrel first and by the time I got home she had already named, adopted, and bought special squirrel food for him, so he got to stay. This coon best move on soon.

My sister gives at least 20 raccoons the Ruger treatment every year. They get into everything and love to kill her chickens and many of them look pretty ratty and diseased. The roads in southern Michigan are paved with them it seems.

The only enemy the raccoon has in most areas is the car, unless he shows up on my yard.
