the sunflower thief
Unlike the squirrels back home on the farm, the squirrels here in Wildwood have a much tougher time eking out a living.
There aren't many trees, and none that offer up anything edible
As a result, I knew it would only be a matter of time before one of them would find my sunflowers and make short work of them.
Sure enough, I came out the other morning and all the sunflower heads in my garden had disappeared.
My next door neighbors that live on the 2nd floor, also grew some sunflowers in containers up on their porch.
They lasted about a week longer than the ones in my garden, but this a.m., I came out just in time to see this little gal sitting on their roof feasting on the seeds from the last bloom from their containers..
Bon appetite!
