Saturday Critters ~ 37 ~

 Let me introduce you to Junior, the Peanut Bandit.

 Sneaking in on the peanut platter that I filled for the birds.

 He thinks if he keeps things on the "down low"...I won't see him.

 He paused here to clean his hands??

 And quickly snatch a peanut.
That worked but he got hollered at..."those peanuts are not for you"...
and he scampered off!!

 Resilient as he is, he tried a different approach...

as in, he hung like spiderman...

so in consideration of his bravery...I looked the other way,
and he got a belly full of peanuts!

Sharing my images of Junior captured on August 11, 2014 with
for Saturday Critters.
Stop by and consider joining in, any critter will do!

When you are hungry you will do anything to get at the food.

Squirrels can smell peanuts a mile away! Cute critter!

LOL! He's a cheeky little fellow! By his demeanor, I'd say he's been scolded before, too. :-)

My local bandito takes a flying leap from the railing to hang on my suet feeder, even though he can't really get into the mesh well, one time he knocked it off and dragged it under the deck! Such persistence! Yours has amazing skills.
