Shelled pieces so the birds can eat them if Mr. Squirrel doesn't reappear. Had chickadees this morning. I love them! So happy and will flit around my head upside down while I fill the feeders.

I put out some old bread a couple of days ago and it was snatched up within moments by a very cute, very fat squirrel who brought it all the way up the steps to our deck so he could eat it in front of the patio door and taunt our dogs. We have a few red squirrels and they are like the Kathleen Cassen Mickelsonhttp://oneminnesotawriter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980619.post-8754832184336317052015-11-21T12:26:57.691-07:002015-11-21T12:26:57.691-07:00Anon,

Too many dogs and cats around.

Our native red squirrel is becoming extinct because of the introduction of greys which eat anything and carry a virus that kills reds too. Red squirrels are so cute -- much smaller and bushier tailed and a very lovely hazelnut colour. Whilst I like animals in general I really don't like seeing grey squirrels here.Oonahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017273972774480939noreply@blogger.com
