This is the view from our front window of our suet cakes we put out for the BIRDS. This squirrel went after a suet cake that hangs 20 feet off the ground. He did get some of it before slipping. At that point, it was hanging by one paw from the bottom of the eve.
His mission: To either continue seeking food from the eve and risk falling to his sure (well, almost sure) death or try to get back on the roof. It seemed that he realized he was in a position to get more. He didn't seem to notice that he was in deep trouble.
Yes, the squirrel did lose his grip and ended up falling -- but not his "sure death!" The squirrel ran up on the roof again from a tree and tried to get at it two more times before giving up for the day. I tried getting some video but didn't quite have enough time for that. Perhaps next time I'll get the squirrel on video.
