Yes, it's an oriole feeder. The wife "never got around to" taking it in for the winter. The tree that Rocky is hanging from is a crab apple. He wasn't after the feeder.

We've sometimes seen a half dozen fox squirrels at a time in this tree, harvesting shrivelled up crab apples. I figure this one was suicidal, just not smart enough to know which end of himself to tie the knot...

Wow,I had to look that one up, didn't know there was such a thing.
I believe that animal just plain got his tail tangled up in the  crabapple branch and couldn't get loose.
Squirrel pot pie?

Heh, I thought that bird feeder was a "copper parachute" - you know, a couple steps down from the golden variety...  which is probably why it didn't save the squirrel.  ;)

Actually, it would have been, if it weren't for the idiotic "turning back of the clocks" we do each Fall. Saves energy, don't ya know... ::)

Yes, the pic was snapped from directly south, and 11:08 might have very well won you a prize, were the economy a smidgeon further from all-out depression... ;)
