This cute squirrel likes to sit on the bird feeder arm as he eats. Usually he goes for the sunflower seed, but in this case it’s an acorn he found on the ground and decided he wanted to nibble it on the arm. Go figure!

Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day!
May your day be filled with juicy tidbits and happiness.
Squirrels are important for planting trees and as food for predators.
But most of all fun to watch.

Napoleon is our squirrel who likes to pose with one hand on his belly like, well, Napoleon. He’s a bit of a ham. He has a mate, Guinevere, who is very prim and prissy. Their two young are growing into adulthood. With winter coming on they are growing thick winter coats and adding some ounces. Squirrels are endlessly fun and fascinating to watch!

Nuts!
Tasty acorn, a comfortable perch, and our senior backyard squirrel Napoleon is as happy as he can be. Pentax K3 III, Pentax DA* 300.

This baby cardinal is like a toddler that won’t leave the breast. Best of both worlds.

It’s good to take turns. 🎥 Dark-eyed Junco 🐦‍⬛ and Stellar’s Jay #birds #backyardfeeder 🪶

Even more fun when they are joined by a friend #birdsofafeather #birds #backyardfeeder 🪶

I love when the video captures little bird songs. 🎥 Dark-eyed Junco #birds 🪶 #backyardfeeder

My nemesis remains undefeated. I’ve tried peppermint rodent spray and spicy bird seed. Nothing deters these guys. They’ve almost destroyed my other feeder. I installed a baffle on that one today. Is there another method I can try? #squirrels #birds #birdfeeder #backyardfeeder

Woodpeckers be pecking wood (and plastic). 🤷🏾‍♀️ #birdsofdestruction #birds #backyardfeeder 🪶

January recap. What species do you spot? #birds #backyardfeeder 🪶

When I moved to the prairies, I looked forward to having neither tree squirrels nor chipmunks to haul my birdseed away...

Sound on to hear one Stellar’s Jay holler at their buddy to let them know the feeder has been refilled and its chow time! #birdcalls #birds #backyardfeeder 🪶

Although Seamus has already made at least 2 visits this morning, we still got this little visitor. AI identified this bird as a dark-eyed junco. Was it right? #birds #backyardfeeder #putabirdonit

Things are escalating. Not only does Seamus visit 3-5x/day for 20min at a time absolutely stuffing his face… but now he’s bringing dates! #notabird #backyardfeeder 🪶🐿️
