Default Monkey Squirrel after my snack

Click to enlarge. This monkey squirrel jumped up on the 150 yard marker yesterday at Pensacola Golf nine on Bonifay looking to get my snack.

Very nice picture!!!

They are clever beasts! One decided that we might have something to snack on in our cart a few years ago, decided to take a look around....finding nothing, the furry tailed rat pooped on the seat then took off.

Oh yeah, he's really working it. Looks like the same gang of bandits that did a "oh I'm so cute, feed me." routine the other day on Destin. Then a few holes later, while we were on the green, a crow came in on an air strike and snagged a power bar. Keep the snacks in your coolers - the wildlife is on to us!

The crows are indeed clever. Left an unopened power bar in my cart at Sweetbay the other day. Came out of the store to find the bar opened, partially eaten and bird poop all over the speedometer and steering wheel. One large crow was sitting in the cart screeching, looking very proud of himself....lol. We sure do have smart creatures around here, don't we....

Cute! I remember a couple of years ago, one went into my fathers cart and stole a cough drop!
