The Tyranny of Wild Things

Since my last post, I have been back to the Wild Birds Unlimited store three times. Each time I am enticed into purchasing more stuff to support the wild birds around my house. I had never, in ten years of residence, seen a squirrel on my property. That deficit has been filled.

I tried shooing her away several times, but she is clearly very hungry and possibly used to people trying to shoo her away. She looks silky and well fed. I suspect she is either pregnant or nursing some little squirrels in a undisclosed location. She seems to love sunflower seeds enough to let me come within two feet of her while she is snacking.

Is that not a face you could love? I feel guilty about moving the bird feeder to a more secure location.

Back to Wild Birds Unlimited for some squirrel food.
