The squirrels have a grand time under the

that have fallen out....easy pickings!

I attempted to capture a photo of this gray squirrel
eating the Manzanita blossoms, however all
I really could get was the little brown tips of his ears
and a lot of gray fur!

But when this cutie exited the Manzanita
I did get a shot of the squirrel cooling
off on a shady rock....it was 70F yesterday!
Have a great day!

He's figured out a way to outsmart
the supposed "squirrel-proof" feeder!
Clever little devil!
He loves sunflower seeds!

It's Awww Monday! June 29, 2015


The early morning squirrel
gets a lot more sunflower seeds!
Every morning I put out the bird feeder
and toss a small handful of seeds below
for the squirrels. This squirrel never
has missed a meal ....obviously!

I do believe winter has arrived.......

Mt Eddy December 18, 2014   8:31 am

I know the official date for winter is December 21st
 and yet.....doesn't this look like winter?
I took this photo earlier today. It's cold and windy,
but NOT raining or snowing so I walked around
our 10.5 acres to see what I could see. 
Lots of little Goldfinches, Steller's jays,
Black-capped chickadees, White-breasted  Nuthatches and Juncos. No California Gray squirrels to be seen...
I think they are taking a nap. 
We can see Mount Shasta and Mount Eddy from our property.
Mount Eddy is my favorite. It is the highest summit
in the Trinity Alps which are part of the Klamath mountains.
To read more about Mount Eddy you can go here .
Have a great day!
