Today is Joe's birthday and the animals are celebrating!! This morning is a beautiful Spring-like day, and they are out in force for our enjoyment and entertainment. Our house is situated on some acreage and we enjoy lots of wild life that lives and visits with us periodically. Over the years we've seen many squirrels, chipmunks, dove, deer (including one fawn that got caught in the stream and had to be rescued), and a large variety of birds, including hawks and owls. As time has passed we have added different kinds of feeders to the yard to keep the squirrels, birds, and others around so that we can watch them as they eat and play. The bungy jump and pinwheel corn feeders are actually for the squirrels. Joe recently put up some round mesh birdfeeders (for sunflowers) around the tree branches. Well, the squirrels seem to like the sunflowers as much as the birds do, and they have figured out how to get at the suspended mesh feeders on the tree branches. You will note that two squirrels are suspended upside down onto two of the mesh feeders, one squirrel is going at it on the corn pinwheel, and a fourth is stretching from one tree to the other to get at the third sunflower feeder. A fifth, not visible in the photo was sitting on the ground. Enjoy their antics!
