Saturday's Critters

Featuring Little Guys this Saturday.

Chipmunk cheeks!

Lots of seeds in those cheeks.

And here's the Fox Squirrel once again. 

He can pretty much drain the peanut feeder in one go.

I changed DMC color from 975, a brick orange, to 975, a more 'pumpkiny' orange. I like the change.

More Little Birds to share.

I think it's a Ruby-crowned Kinglet!

And we have chickadees too.

Sunday's Hummers

Dull and bright.

I think I may be down to just two female Anna's.

Dull against a dull sky.

And bright!

Happy Sunday

Saturday's Critters

Who's out there?

This squirrel.

Not a Western Gray, as it has brown ears and belly. 

I think this guy may be an invasion Fox Squirrel.

Here's a Western Gray for comparison.

It belong here!

There are three bucks around now.

This is the two point buck. 

He's somewhat mellow and will come up on the patio for peanuts.

 

A handsome guy.

This is one of the 2 four point bucks.

The four points have been harassing the does and chasing each other.

Typical male behavior.
