'Buddy' the pest ...

'Buddy', our red squirrel has been such a frequent visitor to the garden that it's hard to decide whether he is pet or pest.  Here he's raiding the chickadee feeder. Nothing is out of his grasp anymore. We think it might be time for a cross-town drive for 'Buddy'. He bullies the redpolls at their feeder; uses our shed as his winter quarters, and we think he's found a mate. So, perhaps the sooner the better.
