Nectar - it's not just for hummingbirds anymore

I caught one of our friendly neighborhoods squirrels drinking out of the hummingbird feeder that hangs off the side of our deck:

No wonder the feeder runs empty so often!

It was not only funny watching the resourceful rodent hang upside down, but when the hummingbirds got angry and started dive bombing him, the fun really started. Hummingbirds are NOT patient and tolerant, to be sure.
