Squirrel Appreciation Day 2012 and Tiny Scoiattolo Jr. | January 22, 2012 |
| |
Yesterday was Squirrel Appreciation Day, and Tiny Scoiattolo Jr. (aka Spot) - as named by by Squirrelmama, a squirrel rehabber, - visited and had her treats.
The twin bushes Sue and I named "Two Trees" are a convenient way to stay out of the snow. |

The large pot (under the balcony) has relatively little snow and is a good place to leave critter food. (Birds like the pot too.) |

After snacking, Spot goes home via the feed tree, although she has to pause to calculate her jumps to avoid snow on the branches. |

Yesterday, I didn't notice whether Tiny had any of the almonds (special for Squirrel Appreciation Day); but there was ample proof that she enjoyed the almonds this evening. |

Tiny Scoiattolo Jr. is a remarkable friend.
Photo note: I used a Pentax K20D, with the SMC-DA 55-300mm lens, for these photos, which were taken on 21 January 2012 (on the day itself), with the last photo taken on the following day, the 22d.
