We've been having all sorts of birds stop by the feeders lately, so yesterday, I grabbed the camera, sat in my chair by the window, and snapped a bunch of shots. Here are a few...
Finally, because we love her so, here's Mama Boom. She's a fox squirrel who's been hanging around a lot lately. Something happened to her tail and she's only got half of it now. She's so big, so looks like a groundhog when she's running across the lawn. And with her short tail, she looks like a prairie dog when she sits up.
Most likely, Mama Boom has babies around here somewhere. I hope so. We need more fox squirrels to run off the gray squirrels. (Fox squirrels are awesome. Gray squirrels are furry-tailed rats.)
Hope you enjoyed the photos. Have a great day!
All the things!!! You have such a crazy-cool variety of birds and critters. I hear the birds more than I see them despite the feeder being outside my office window. Lots of sparrows, the occasional cardinal. I get doves, crows, and starlings out in the driveway when I toss leftover dog food out there, though now I'm scattering bird seed for the doves since they are basically ground feeders. They'll use the flat feeder in the back but I suspect they like the driveway better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the big smile this morning. I'll just have to "bird" vicariously through you. 😉
Have a great week!
I love your birds! And I'm fond of Mama Boom, too.
ReplyDeleteI need to figure out what kind of squirrels live around here. They're gray with orange bellies. And the sweetest eyes!
