I don't know which was more fun.......watching all the different kinds of birds that visited my sister's bird feeders or......watching the squirrels try to get into the bird feeders.
Watched one little guy try every limb of the cedar tree until he found one strong enough to hold his weight and high enough to give him good aim at the feeder pole before making his leap of faith. He missed but I had a great time watching him.
We live in town so was really surprised to see a squirel running along the back fence (about 12 ft from house). First one arrived not long after Wilma blew through. Now we have two. I don't know where they come from or go to but they really seem to like my fence.
Another "member" of my menagerie consist of a 4ft long black snake that has decided the best place to sun himself is in the bushes be side my front door. Can you imagine what happened when his little black forked tongue reached out and tickeled my elbow......it wasn't pretty.
A gecko (love Geico's TV ads) and an assortment of lizards, frogs and BIG cockroaches make up the rest of the neighbors. I refuse to name the cockroaches.
