Squirrel Feeders

As a source of visual peace, my husband put a few birdfeeders in the yard outside of the office window. We see quite a variety of local bird life. Pretty much everything you'd imagine in New England.

And a few that continue to surprise us.

One frigidly cold day in February the feeders were deserted due to a hawk hunched up in a nearby tree keeping vigil on the possibility of easy prey. None ventured into the hawk's line of sight.

This Spring I saw the most enormous woodpecker ever perched on a tree outside the kitchen window.

And the other day, this creature graced us with its presence at the feeders.

Clearly at a loss, it was up there for quite a while. I think there was an effort to appear not as though it was stuck there, but that it meant to climb and survey it's surroundings.

It did a lot of surveying. That was one stuck squirrel.

Eventually, I checked on it and it was gone. I'ts probably in hiding somewhere, still being taunted by it's squirrel peers.
