Description This little fella visits our balcony for the unsalted shelled peanuts we put out. He's quite at ease in our presence and, while never totally letting its guard down, he will let you feed it by hand. He takes the nut from your fingers gently in his mouth and then retreats a short distance (maybe two or three feet away) to devour its contents. When you start taking photos (regularly) of birds and squirrels you know you've reached retirement age.

We like him a lot. There's a female, (possibly his mate) that visits frequently too but she's not so brave as to let us feed her by hand. We think she's nursing and my wife likes to put out some pecans that are passed their expired date.

I try not to offend anyone by posting the really "hung" shots. Believe me, I've got 'em. This is modest. "Book-fiend" by-the-way, is my wife.
