Squirrels are adorable little creatures that are fun and entertaining to watch. They are also mischievous and bold, often getting into things that we don't want them to. This is the case with this little red squirrel who began helping himself to a bag of corn that was left on the front porch one morning. The corn was meant for some deer that live nearby. They enjoy corn as a treat and it was set out with the intention of feeding it to them that afternoon. But within minutes, a red squirrel appeared and began climbing into the bag.

He was chased away several times and the bag was tied shut tightly. When he came back and showed determination in untying the bag, a camera was set out to catch the action. As predicted, he pulled at the handle loops, and he chewed at the cloth. With very little effort, he was able to get into the bag and get at the corn again. These little animals are very crafty and they don't easily give up.

As he sat and nibbled the corn, he stared directly at the camera. Possibly just curious about the foreign object, and possibly being saucy, it seemed as if he were boldly looking at the homeowners as he ate, daring them to try again to keep him from his food. As they watched the footage, they couldn't help but notice what appears to be a wink directly at the camera as he stares daringly. This adorable little man is simply too cheeky for words!
