Winter Critters

A dusting of snow lightly fell yesterday morning
adding to the feeling of winter that was slow to
reach us this winter.

The crabapples attracted many birds, among them
the cardinals


and

the goldfinches.

The squirrels were also part of the scene
and this one also found hanging
upsidedown helpful in reaching for the crabapples.

The real delicacy for the squirrels suddenly appeared
when D threw into the yard
a basket of apples we had stored from
the fall that had gone over the top for our consumption
but was just perfect for the squirrels.
The apples disappeared nearly as quickly as they had appeared
as the squirrels carried them away and tucked them way up in the
trees for safekeeping.


Oh, how I love observing wildlife.

Overwhelmed

This robin seemed overwhelmed in the
midst of all of these apples in our yard.
We had saved them through the winter
and though they don't look edible for us,
hopefully they will provide sustenance
for some birds during this cold
spell in March in Maine.

Apples For the Birds

If you are having a cold snowy winter, how
about throwing some apples out in your
yard for the birds to help them survive the
winter. The robins really like apples!

Well, I'll Bee

Someone has been eating the apples!


This afternoon I thought I discovered
who it is, but wait, there's more!

Well, I'll bee!
