You got seeds? Nuts? Okay, I'll wait!

This little squirrel was especially friendly today. He knows me, but still runs when I go outside. Today he stayed and watched me refill the feeder. Then he slowly, but surely, came over to the feeder while I stayed near it. He got on the roof and looked me straight in the eye and dared me to stay close. I am not sure if I want to get too friendly with him. I can't get past the fact that he is a rodent.
