eeeeek!...

these are obviously just quick shots to show the rat, not so much 'good photography' tee hee

a story...

when i moved here a few years ago i thought it was cute a little squirrel was peeking his whole head into a rip in the screen... the next day he was sitting on the inside of the screen on the window sill... the next morning i woke up from the squirrel party raging in my room, with scratches on my arm from one of them running across me (thats why i woke up).... that night i replaced the screen... i came home sometime the day after to find they'd already came through the new screen and had tore up my room again... i replaced the screen several times with the same results each time

the window then stayed shut for a few days, and i couldnt stand it, i put a window fan in and they came through the side flap... i had to do something, i cant leave the window shut, i'm in florida sheesh....

the simple solution was was the feed pit, i got the instructions and the idea from the magazine link below and for a couple $'s i have a lot of entertainment from them and i can keep my window open with the fan or board it up when it gets cooler

so last night i think nothing of hearing noises in there, until i glance up and notice it's NOT a squirrel... before i even knew what it was, i thought for a few seconds it was a chipmunk, in my defense it was dark and i'd have never known what it was without the flash, and when i saw in that flash what it was i was in shock!!

now i'm over the shock, and he's kinda cute, tee hee

so yeah... i've done absolutely nothing all day, which was kind of nice, and it's starting to storm now... so this is all i got for you guys unless i get some nice cloud or sunset shots in a couple hours


squirrel feeder instructions, one fence post, some screws/nails, and a restaurant sized glass jar
