Chippie........................

Today we had a visit from Mr Chips. Boots has been hanging out around the garage for over a week. She sits on the deck too and watched the door while watching birds at the same time. In fact, she was sitting there dozing while a Blue Jay was on the deck behind her. They should not take her so lightly, she will get them when she is in the mood. She is too lazy most of the time. However, she has depleted the Chipmunk population.


He let me get really close


I had my hand right up to him/her and then it decided to take off. I could most likely get it to eat out of my hand. This one is a young one. They are most likely nesting in the garage.
Meanwhile the girls are disgusted, looks like "Mum, what the heck are you doing"


The Squirrels meanwhile, well they just don't care about anything but the food.



They all look very healthy and plump.

The trees are almost bare. The Silver Maple has its buds ready for Spring


My camera didn't show the colour as I saw it, they were silver almost white against the sky.
The Blue Jays came despite the cat.


Beautiful markings

As the black Squirrel waits his turn in the tree...........

A busy day at the feeders today.
