The Veteran
This is "the Veteran", who visits my feeder daily. He (she?) is quite bold; I imagine that has something to do with the ear.
Comments:
I used to chase them away from the bird feeder with a broom. One day a squirrel as mean and awnry as this one looks decided he wasn't going to run and put up a valiant fight against the broom. It was really a little scary knowing these critters could do some serious damage to the human body if they decided not to run.

Mostly I just tolerate them. The squirrels pick up the seeds the birds drop; they haven't been able to figure out how to get to the feeder (yet).
I've got the feeder hanging in middle of my porch on a 3 foot chain, several feet from the railing. Fairly often, they'll sit on the rail, like the Veteran here, trying to work out the trajectory. But I've only seen one attempt. (It wasn't successful.)
