Railroad tracks are like the adventure of life. One never knows where our paths will lead us. Will it be the smooth shiny side, or the dull side of the track, with a few imperfections along the way?

Mystery Solved
For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how my Humming Bird Feeder emptied so fast.
Until I caught the culprit red handed. She's going to get in big trouble if she keeps drinking the feeder dry!! And that's the way it is...............
Ah ha, the culprit! Sad to say, but we havent had many hummers at all this year. I have my two feeders out, and clean and re-fill often, but they must like some other feeders better.
Fantastic shot ! She has teets which means she has babies somewhere ! I have only had a squirrel do this once to my nectar feeders last year , so far so good they haven't touched them this year . Thanks for sharing ! Have a good day !
Love the photo...the last time I had hummingbird feeders in Virginia I discovered about the squirrel addiction to sweet water...the sad part was he didn't get half of it, it just ran out on the ground when he tipped it. of course it provided entertainment for Don from his hospital bed :)
My feeders are hung high and off the deck railing by about 14-18". I've not had any trouble with uninvited guests, except for some wasps. I'm not sure what to do about them, but the hummingbirds seems nonplussed!
Cute picture. Naughty squirrel!
ReplyDeleteOH, MY--what a great shot you caught!!!
ReplyDeleteCute picture, I had no idea they would do something like that.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great snapshot! We have a raccoon who will drain our hummingbird feeder at night so Mike always hides it the grill before going to bed.
ReplyDeletehe is belly up to the juice bar.. adorable little thief.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that squirrels have enough energy without having a sugar high! Great capture.
ReplyDeleteBuggers.. but that is a great shot! :)
ReplyDeletewell, at least you have a metal one. my squirrels chew the plastic ones to bits if i hang them too far from the house!

ReplyDeleteOh what a cutie pie! GREAT capture!

ReplyDeleteThat stinker...some ate all my veggies this summer!! Purrs, Loretta
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Such a sneaky little thief. I've never seen a squirrel get into a hummingbird feeder before. Guess I better keep an eye on mine.
ReplyDeleteWell I never. Who knew? A squirrel with a sweet tooth is unstoppable. Wonderful shot.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't help but laugh when I saw this. They are rascals for sure.
ReplyDeletehehe, mine do the same thing!! Have the best weekend ever in your all fixed up abode!!
ReplyDeleteLOL...he has a sweet tooth :)

Sneaking little thing isn't it? But I bet it's happy.

Caught red-handed for sure! We had a puppy that kept drinking the water out of the Christmas tree stand!
