The Fox Squirrel is checking out the Hardy's bird feeder to see if there's any more damage he can do. He's already destroyed the roof that covered it in his efforts to get to the food in this "squirrel proof" feeder.
The Hardys replaced the damaged feeder which scarcely gave the squirrel pause. He has made himself at home in the new one and seems to have no trouble getting through the grate which is supposed to protect the seed from rodents.
A Cardinal finally gets a chance to try out the new feeder and see if the squirrel left anything.
