That's when beautiful birds visit his backyard, and he can paint them to his heart's content—unless those darn squirrels get in the way. Too bad the birds fly south once fall arrives.

Once again, those darn squirrels demonstrate their ingenuity and engineering skills in a witty, quirky story that will surprise you, even if you've seen the mischief they can get up to in your own backyard.
