Amazing

Who knew the lid had fallen off
the top of the bird feeder.

This clever squirrel knew!


I was astonished when the
squirrel slid down the inside
of the bird feeder to reach the
sunflower seeds at the bottom!

The squirrel managed to get out without
a problem and did it again and again!

An Unusual Way of Eating

Happened to look out of the window
yesterday to catch a glimpse of this
creative squirrel eating from the
bird feeder!

Rain Topples Bird Feeders

Heavy rains continued through Tuesday...
as I opened the window shade
in the morning I was astonished to see the
bird feeders were lying on the ground!
The dead tree that provided a good hanger
for them had toppled over from
all of the rain that saturated the ground
and loosened their anchor roots.

If you look closely you can see chippy
investigating the situation...

I think he must have thought this is even better!

...as he exited the fallen bird feeder
he looked very full!

How'd He Do That?

In case you're wondering what you're
looking at...
(for when I first saw it, I was quite puzzled)

.... it's a chipmunk upsidedown and actually
inside the bird feeder.

I was glad he or she was able to
get out without outside assistance!

A Busy Day at the Bird Feeder

This morning I was fascinated by the view from
our window of all of the activity surrounding
our bird feeder.
It was a very busy destination and
everyone was moving very quickly for they
might have sensed an impending snow storm.
Among the visitors were the cardinals and bluejays,
chickadees and juncos, a tufted titmouse, a wren,
unusual sparrows, goldfinches, house finches, a woodpecker
and some very entertaining and enterprising gray and red squirrels.
