The squirrels seem more abundant than ever this year, and as always both I and the cats love watching them. The feeders I put up last year are still going strong, and here’s proof:
Eventually they ate around the screw that holds the corn block and were able to detach the remaining food from the tree, dragging it off to places unknown.
Look closely at the above shot; can you see the squirrels? Here’s a couple of closeups in case you’re having trouble:
There were actually three there when I took the photo, but I can’t see the third. He was on the ground as well, so maybe he ran behind the tree or out of shot. The squirrels on the ground eat the corn niblets dropped by the guy up on the feeder.
Yesterday we told Jim and Joyce how strange it was that we hadn’t seen a single deer yet this year. Here’s a photo of one of these nonexistent deer (taken just half an hour ago):
And here is a (HD if you select it) video of this very same deer, who doesn’t believe us when we say deer are not visiting our yard for breakfast, lunch and dinner this year 🙂
