The Evil Squirrel

I'm not sure how Squirrels can do the things they do, whether it be jumping ten feet through the air from a roof to a bird feeder (at my Aunt's house) or Climbing up a .5" diameter metal pole to get to a bird feeder (at my house)... but I'd like to be able to do some of the acrobatics that they can do!

Upon arriving home from the Seminary, I noticed a particularly intrepid squirrel that will hang around the bird feeder in my backyard (the same one that I snapped a few nice pictures of during Christmas break), climbing up the pole, eating bird food, getting scared and jumping off (when I knock on the window), then climbing back up again.

I decided to grab my Canon PowerShot S2 IS, and I used the video mode to capture some of the action. Click on the picture to watch a 2 MB video file I made using iMovie.
