SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - THE SQUIRREL'S FIRST TIME SEEING SNOW - HE'S NOT IMPRESSED


























Lady is going to have to get her hearing checked. She also told the squirrels it was time to give the birds their time at the feeders. Their nest would be much warmer for them she said. They left having had lots of good nuts, fruits and seeds, and there was plenty more for the birds.  In no time at all after they had left, a feathered friend arrived.

Our little Carolina Wren hasn't been around for a while and was feeling a bit shy.  It was visiting long before the Froggies 3 arrived in the family. I am glad to see it is back...more tomorrow.

And so it goes at the birdfeeder. 

Have a great weekend everyone,
and thanks for stopping by.

  1. That is a very cute dialogue there. So clumsy and down in IQ. But cute.

  5. I really enjoy this, it's awesome. Your blog makes me happy, and I'm just sitting here with a smile. Reading about your favorite animal, especially when the author makes it talk and uses speech bubbles, is so creative and funny. Thanks! Hoping you have a great Saturday. The snow is melting here, and I'm hoping to spot some crocuses in a nearby field on Monday. Take care! 😊🌷 My blog: https://momentsfrozentime.blogspot.com/

    1. Hello Aritha, so glad you enjoy my talking squirrels :) I hope you have a great Saturday also. The sun is out, the sun is shining and the snow is being blown off the roof tops. It looks like a very fine misty blizzard right now. I took photos but it doesn't show too well on them. Have a great weekend!

  11. I actually saw a squirrel fall in soft snow. It was funny how she/he shook and looked around before struggling out of the dep snow.

  12. Your bird feeder posts are delightful, Denise. I see you had a squirrel come around to visit you. I don't see them as much on my lawn during the Winter months, but they are still there. We got a bit of snow as well, and it's been so cold. Just staying inside and keeping warm. ; )

    1. I am happy you enjoy them :) We don't get as many squirrels as we used to before we had the new deck. Perhaps just as well. I hope you aren't where they are getting this awful weather. I'm staying inside a lot more as I am dangerous walking on snow and ice! You stay safe warm over there too.

  15. Hurrah!! It is Saturday and time for The Birdfeeder. This is one of your best, it tickled me so. It is both sweet and funny. Your Saturdays could all be a weekly column in the newspaper. The Foxgloves are such a cute idea, and the squirrel photos are so great. I see the tiny wren peeking out. I adore wrens, but almost never see them. Except for that once I was attacked. They are spunky! So wrens spend the winter there?

    1. You know how to make my day Ginny, thank you so much for these very sweet comments :) Wrens are adorable aren't they? That's interesting, I didn't realize they were so feisty. That's a great question and unfortunately I don't know the answer. I am going to have to find that out whether they stay the whole winter and when I do I will let you know.

  17. so cute, i really enjoy these!! my feeders are "flying room" only, the birds that are on them are chasing others away and hogging all of the food for themselves!!

    1. Glad you think so Debbie. I had to get rid of my old hanging feeders after we got this new deck. The rails were way too narrow for a hanger. I do miss them but am also enjoying this new arrangement. With the bad weather the birds must get extra feisty worrying if they are going to run out of food. Instinct kicks in I guess :)

  19. squirrels are lots of fun. One was chattering at me on our fence a year or two ago while I was watering the flowers so I sprayed it. It put it's tail over his head as an umbrellas. I laughed.

    1. I agree, so much fun. The one you saw sounded charming. I often used to see the squirrels sitting on a branch and covering their heads with their tails in the rain. Looked so darned cute!
