Just thought I would share with you nature lovers.....dang Carol I need a better camera!!
The squirrel on the Green and Burg Feeder is really far away on our front path. I think he figured out I was taking his picture - looks like I scared the B's out of him.
If anyone is into folk art painting - well it's not really - That bird feeders roof is painted with two scenes from the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It has seen better days now being almost 7 years old - the Black squirrels get quite nasty with it and if there is no seed left they start to eat the feeder!
That feeder also acts as the rescue centre. When I find a bird that has flown into one of our windows and still alive - I pick it up and place him in the feeder to recover. Other birds still come to feed (to keep him company and encourage him to fly again) but it is out of reach of the dogs.
I have seen where the birds will protect a weak bird from the red squirrels - just long enough for the bird to recoup. It really is amazing to watch the goings on here.
Well enjoy - PS I have cut and split a whole cord of wood now so we should be set for a couple of more days. I think TinSista is off to the Chocolate Factory and maybe Wheelinterested is brewing a new batch of wine????
