And adorable! We have a huge population of both ground squirrels and their littler cousins, chipmunks. 
They are pretty smart about gaining access to the two bird feeders we have out. This year every time I look out expecting to see birds in the feeders I see ground squirrels or chipmunks instead.
Amazingly, they can climb this pole!
Getting up is one thing, but getting down is not as easy as it would seem.
Our other bird feeder is surrounded by baby aspens. Since it’s impossible for them to climb up the pole and get into this feeder, they’ve learned to climb the little trees and take a flying leap! Rick finally got this in slow motion yesterday and here is the clip. Enjoy!
