Squirrel, Again

Today the little red squirrel found my pretty blue weather proof bird feeder.  He spent a lot of time investigating it.  He brushed all the snow off the top of it and then went down to the lower level and went around and around checking out the four feeder holes.  He poked his head into the holes but I couldn't tell if he was actually getting seeds or not.  Then he started using his hands a little and I could tell he was munching.  I was happy to see him feeding there.  He didn't eat very much and he did no harm, and there was only him, no other creatures have come to the feeder for days.

I call the squirrel "him" because I really don't know if it's male or female.  "He" is as good a pronoun as any when I don't really know.
