"Manos en la masa" Red-handed, literally, "hands in the dough." And seed on her lips.
I had laid out a little platter of bird seed drizzled with the last of my good shortening, to tempt the juncos in close enough for a photo. They never got a chance.
And the thief escaped, to continue her depredations another day.
(Laurie says he thinks she's pregnant. Could be. If so, she's forgiven; can't deny a mother-to-be her cravings!)
She looks like she knows she's been caught red-handed. I love squirrels. Amazing athletes! I'm glad you forgave her:) I heard a radio interview once about a scientist who placed a camera in a squirrel box that he built, and captured amazing data about the babies' agility training. He said it was rather like a dance choreography, directed by the parents. I wish I could remember that scientist's name. (Must google.)
