Rats

There was a rat on our bird feeder today. A big one.

He (or she) was not skittish. Had to bang on the window a few times to get him to jump off and then he hung around in the branches of a bush.

His head was about as big as a squirrel's.

The bird feeder is a complex contraption designed to thwart squirrels and does a good job, but the rat had no problem eating out of it.

The neighbor's had a cat that used to come by, but I have not seen him in a while. Maybe the rat ate him.
