Templeton

Caught! I had to get these for my hubby who truly thought I was seeing something besides a rat . . .
No, that is not his head . . . Gives you an idea as to how big this guy is. Check out that tail!
He's climbing up to get into the bird feeder. I'm taking this down today.

I talked to the wildlife control and he told me that " . . . if you were in this business you would never have a bird feeder, a dog door into the house, or leave your garage door open". He went on to tell me that people usually call about problems with snakes and you can work backwards from there. The snakes come in to get the mice or rats who come in to get the nuts and seeds from a feeder. All he had to do was say "snake" and he had me ready to move every feeder in our yard.

HAAAAAAA!!!! Boy, you weren't exaggerating about his "attributes." eww.eww.eww. Yeah, I'd either get a rat terrier or move the bird feeder. A rat terrier wouldn't eat songbirds that you're drawing like a cat would.

Wow - he is big!

Had to show Doug. After dying laughing at how gross and huge the thing is, he said to tell you (from personal experience), "there's never just one."

Especially with 'nads like that. ;o)
