I telecommute, and when i have a tight deadline, which i have had all week, i tend to be in my own little world and cognizant of little else.
Just before 10.00 yesterday, i used the rest room and on my way back to the office, i happened to glance outside through the sliding glass door in the living room. It took me a full two seconds to understand what i was seeing.
To give an ideal of scale, the fence is about 3 feet/1 metre high.
When he had sampled enough of the bird seed on the ground, he decided it would be nice to have a taste of some of the suet i had in the suet feeder. On his hind legs, he's about 5 ft (1.53 m) tall.
Here, he seems to be testing the lazy susan feature of the suet feeder (which is a small log with holes drilled in it, which i stuff with suet). The shepherd's hook has gone from being perpendicular to the grass to a 58° angle more or less.
He decided to check out the ground again for any seed he may have missed.
JoJo was as interested in the proceedings as i was.
He left as quietly as he had appeared. I turned my back for a minute to check email as i heard the chime and was expecting an email regarding the project i was working on. In that minute, he vanished, and this was the aftermath.
