Nature Friday - Oops - by Styx

 Dear pals,

We have missed some nature Friday posts (sorry hosts Rosy and Sunny) because to be honest, without dogs, Lady doesn't go out as much in this dark, cold weather. This is a work in progress for her. She has all the warm clothes, she just needs the motivation.

I digress, I on the other hand have been enjoying the view at the bird window. Lady has been doing a better job at filling the feeders and I spend many an hour on her desk observing.

Lady was having virtual coffee with a friend recently, before she went out to fill the feeders, and my nemesis the black squirrel, came right up to the window. 


Lady was slow grabbing her phone, but if you look carefully in the left corner, you can see a piece of him.  I think he was coming to complain about the service at the feeders.

  4. Those squirrels are such hogs at the bird feeders and the food isn't even for them! You have a front row seat, Styx!

  6. What a great spot you have to watch the activity at the feeders, Styx. Too bad that pesky squirrel was there, but I think seeing you scared him away.

  10. Those squirrels can be pushy when they want to be fed.

  11. We once had a neighbour who when she opened her door to go outside was acosted by a squirrel demanding a ransom...of peanuts! Here we have the big grey brown and black guys as well as the red squirrels who are a lot meaner, and destructive; though a lot smaller make up for it with their feistiness.
    But for kitties they sure are entertaining. Ours used to sit at the window chattering loudly and spitting all over the glass in their excitement!
