Being blessed with a beautiful sunny week-end, I went to my favorite hang-outs to see what wildlife might be about. No foxes to report this time but I did see many lovely birds. Among other species I saw Chickadees, a Hairy Woodpecker and a Pileated Woodpecker.
Oh, and I don't know what got into the squirrels but some of them were dashing about, tossing sticks in the air and doing back-flips!
Here are some pictures of the birds and a squirrel (who was one of the more sedate ones).

Lucky you as there have been few sunny days here recently!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, I especially like the first and last ones. The chickadee looks very similar to our coal tit.

I love watching squirrels when they are chasing about and playing! Flighty xx
Thanks for the link to the Coal Tit. It is very similar as you say. It's funny, as I was watching the Chickadees I was thinking of Tits (probably because of that card I had bought).
ReplyDeleteThese little birds are such a delight with their cheerful, spunky and friendly ways.
My goodness, it's hard to keep my humour in check sometimes (see above comment), but I do try to be mature at least some of the time. Anyway, thanks for sharing your weekend sightings. I think chickadess are the cutest and greatest.
ReplyDeleteAh Chickadees - what cuties. I am always amazed that they can survive such cold winter nights.
ReplyDeleteAh, Anvilcloud, if you had not restrained yourself I was ready with a few "tsk, tsk, tsk's" :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd Cuppa, I too am amazed that these tiny wisps of life can survive.
