Squirrel Pics Vol.15
Didn't seem to want me to join in either! lol
back at home...
with a friend...juvie male Downy Woodpecker!
Is he flossing in that last shot. lol
HA!!!! It does look like it doesn't it! lol
Thanks for the new thread was really getting hard to load.
LOL.. I wouldn't be surprised if they do floss at all. They need to keep them choppers nice and sharp and clean. They want to be able to say Look Mom no cavities. : )
Seem to be down to just a couple of chipmunks now....
I surprised this one!
This one brought an apple over from the neighbors apple tree!
Periscope up!
Went to visit my mom for a few days, and her yard is ruled by chippies! I enjoyed following these guys around and watching their antics!
And another one...
LOL!!! That is jsut sooo cute! ^_^
Mine is in no way as cute...
This squirrel was really trying to get the finch feeder...
just look at the grasp the toes have...amazing! lol
Nice shots nanny and VA_Wild_Rose!
A new squirrel is running the yard right now...female Fox/Gray mix? She's a little smaller than the Fox squirrel's but will scrap in a minute.
Here's a Fox Squirrel...its ears are slightly shorter and more rounded than the mixed one.
Nice shots Burd! Love the hybrid one!
Nanny... squirrels are certainly tenacious when it comes to getting in feeders!
"Whew! Sure is hot, ain't it???"
102 degrees when I saw her hangin' out!
I even feel sorry for them when it is that hot!! Good shot!
Nice shot VA Rose! Mine have been doing the same thing..trying to find a shaded branch to keep cool.
This is the happiest squirrel ever. Just look at the joy on its face over the grape it just found laying on the ground! Pure pleasure at its best.
mmmmmm....sooooo goood!
all gone....
lol nanny, love that first shot! He does have the look of pleasure.
That is so darn funny Nanny. Love that expression on his face.
Wild Rose, lol on the one chippy behind the stump, just love it.
My Red Squirrel in the cage feeder.
This Chippy, love hanging around the pond, I think it's the cover of the hostas that he likes.
Anyone here familiar with the holes that chipmunks make? Are they really this small and neat?
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek051115.html
I have some much larger holes and I can't figure out who made them. Have the above holes also, but they look too tiny for a chipmunk (esp if they're carrying something in their mouth - hee hee).
Yes they really are that neat.....they can pop in and out of those little holes quite quickly & easliy!
Maybe you can take some photos of your holes and post them on the the Garden Pest Forum for an ID.
ooh, good idea. I'm ok with these small holes, but the huge ones are now a mystery if those neat little ones are chipmunks. time to go take some pictures :)
My first guess would be that it is probably moles...but not sure what all you have up that way as far as critters go!
I do have moles, but they are on the other side of the yard and don't cause much trouble. It seems too small to be for a groundhog or skunk, but too large for a chipmunk or snake. Voles also I think make smaller tunnels. So what's left?? :)
If anyone is curious:

It's been too hot to be outside watching squirrels, but the other day I did notice this in my East Palatka Holly in the front yard. It's got to be a squirrel nest. Located very close to two feeders (smart squirrel).
What a great location!
Nice shots all! Haven't been keeping tabs on my squirrel's lately...the giant Chinese Elm in my neighbors yard...decided to crack open and had to be taken down...but I counted 7 nests in the tree. They have been cutting on the tree for over a week now and there is still more to go. The squirrel's have been around but more or less hiding because of the activity.
Been a little quiet here too...way to hot!
really really hot!
Nice shots nanny! I have a couple shots also of the squirrel's trying to keep cool.
getting a drink...then Burd gets off work to find the birdbath knocked over for the umpteenth time...caught the squirrel's running and jumping on it to tip it...I had put a rock in it but the bird's can't bathe if I do so I just keep filling it up..lol
my mixed squirrel
