Squirrel versus Wind Chime

With the new normal being that we are staying home, one recent morning I awoke before Patty, so I went to the living room to enjoy a cup of coffee and the sunrise. Nice not to have a commute.

As I was lying there on the couch I noticed the wind chime, a gift from Patty a few years back.

Then I realized there was no wind.

An  Eastern Gray Squirrel was attacking the chimes, rather odd.

By the time I realized what was going on and had went and grabbed a camera, the critter had knocked one of the tubes to the ground.

And it continued to attack it.

There was nothing in or on the tube that I could see. I checked when I retrieved it. And none of the other squirrels, and we've plenty about, showed any interest in the tube nor the chime.

And there have been not further attacks.

Very odd.
