I've been talking to him a lot,trying to gain his confidence.I kept seeing footprints and evidence of pilfering in my shed.I was afraid I had a rat!My daughter left some Easter chocolate footballs on the table and the next day I found the wrappers neatly peeled on this can.Oh boy,if I could have caught him unwrapping those, I could have had the ten-thousand dollar video!I leave my door open all day,and I caught him sneaking in!What a treat,glad it wasn't a rat,I started leaving peanuts outside with my birdseed and inside my shed too.I was reading my paper,looked up and there he was,eating.Carefully I set up my toy camera and waited as he came and went.Every time he came in I used continuous shooting mode to catch as much of my little friend as I could.

  I came by to thank you for visiting my blog and commenting there. I have a few photos of Pileated Woodpeckers but they don't show up often. The Ivory Bill is another story. I hope they find it.

  I'm glad it wasn't a rat too!  You will have a friend for life if you keep feeding him...maybe all of his family too.   the pictures were fun.  YOu are doing all kinds of things now with your camera.

  A fine series that together do an attractive job of documenting this little guy getting the goodies.  They are so clever.  I feed the squirrels by throwing peanuts out on the lawn. Today I had three chasing each other up and down the trees.
