I moved the corn to a different location 

That's one determined squirrel!

Indeed, she is, Jeanne Lee!  She's a real clown.

How do you have the corn attached to the tree?  The detail on the squirrel is amazing, you can see individual hairs.  Have the birds/squirrels become accostomed to your presence?  Your pictures are getting better every time you post, way to go!!!

Thanks, Judy.

I drove a BIG finishing nail into the tree about 1 1/2" then simply skewered the corn on that.  NOTHING has become accustomed to me, Judy (not even my wife - heheheh).  I shoot from inside the house through double-glaze glass.

Wow Is it possible to open a window without a screen and take them that way?

Sure.  But, then, my wife starts screaming about bugs and the A/C (or heat) and scares 'em away.  

These are  awesome shots, I love that little squirrel

There are things about everyone that annoys, but in love we make a way to live in peace.  Pat has a window she can open quietly and take pictures.  That was why my suggestion.

I really have to get the camera we have and start using it.  Problem is it isn't digital and at this moment I cannot afford a digital.  on the opposite side of the coin the film costs as does the processing of the film afterward.  A catch 22 wouldn't you say?

Judy, my walk-about camera is an excellent digital to start out with.  Matter of fact, it's just a darned good camera... period.  You can pick up a refurb from ecost.com for around $120. 

Here's the review on it (one of many):

I believe Melody has one of these and can also vouch for it's quality.

Thank you.  I will look into it.
