Always but they are fun to watch also

I had a squirrel steal my pine cone feeder off a shepherd hook and run across the street with it.
I had just made it. Now need to find another big pine cone and get the peanut butter and bird seed out again 😡

@CPres : They like the peanut butter on the pine cone.

I have only seen one squirrel in weeks... and that was in somewhere elses
yard ??? I guess those critters know where to go for food and snacks...

I have a squirrel that runs across our fence line on purpose just to mess with our dog. He will sit on our fence and look into our back door window making noises to get the dog to chase him. Once I let the the dog out he runs over and jumps on the fence barking and going nuts and then the squirrel will run up into the tree and just watch my dog and laugh at him. This happens multiple times every day. I'm really not sure why my dog doesn't understand no matter how hard he tries he's never gonna catch that squirrel but he sure as heck tries.

I seem to enjoy the squirrels more than the birds, to be honest. They're so fun to watch!

OH! Maybee that's what is getting into my patio. Squirrels. We couldn't think or imagine what it was. We even checked the cameras and didn't see anything. Sneaky little guys.
We just put up a new big bird feeder to go with the smaller ones.

Squirrels like to eat, too!

I find the squirrels to be as much fun to watch as the birds at my feeder. I buy bags of peantus (unsalted) and put those out occasionally too.
