I think I have an aspiring candidate for The Flying Wallendas.  I saw one of my fine furry friends leap over six feet from the large branch (left) to the bird feeder.

Postscript, Sun. June 10th: Subsequent to my above reference to the Wallendas, I heard on the TV news that a member of the famous family will walk across Niagara Falls one day soon.  ~~  Newsflash, Thursday June 14th: The walk will be Friday June 15th and will be carried live on ABC-TV.
