(Jack Schmidling) expounded:

There is nothing unusual about a squirrel in a bird feeder. In fact they are
such pests that a whole industry has developed to come up with methods of
keeping these clever animals out of feeders. However, when a wood chuck
turns up in the feeder, it's hard not to take notice.

Great photo. I've just read an interesting article in the Boston
Globe about squirrels, and it turns out ground hogs are considered
squirrels. So are chipmunks. Those two 'squirrels' hibernate. The
red and grey squirrels don't. Learn something new every day!
