Humans aren't the only ones who like Ritz crackers.

At Centre Vale Park, Todmorden.

Photos from today's visit to see the squirrels. It was a really naff dull day, but still got a few nice captures - what a contrast to yesterday!

I ran out of nuts really quick, there is a lot to feed! After I ran out of nuts they went bonkers, I captured a clip on my camera :

It's not Oscar winning but quite funny. Unfortunately my 45mm prime lens isn't a proper video lens so struggled a little.

Enjoy!

To keep track of my latest Squirrel photos they will be added constantly to this set:

This was my only visitor at the squirrel place Sunday morning. It was the first weekend in July, after all, and there was much chasing through the treetops going on.

So after he finished the first ear of corn, this little squirrel climbed up the tree about 4 feet and watched me as I set out ear of corn number two. That was an hour ago and I am on my way back out to his tree with a third ear. He is either the bravest or the hungriest little squirrel I've seen in quite a while

I love their front paws. I can recognize this little guy by the "bite" out of his right ear.

There must be nuts around here somewhere!

By Sandee Vartanian Dusbiber. Mr. Squirrel was so excited in finding a new house. Most of the winter he has been living in an old vacant birdhouse. Today I noticed he was checking out this big hole in a very tall tree in our woods in Plymouth, Michigan. He finally got his chubby body in the hole, and spent most of the his time in the hole. I was surprised that he did not play with the others squirrels but stayed in his hole watching all the fun down below him. I wonder why he moved out of the vacant birdhouse? At least he had a roof over his hairy head.

One of the squirrels out back is sporting a clipped tail. It's certainly not an intentional fashion statement, but it's definitely noticeable. I'm not sure what happened.

I noticed it Sunday, the same day I came downstairs to see a Sharp-shinned Hawk standing on a finch on the deck, ten feet from the door. The little finch was very much alive and struggling to break away, but the hawk was in no hurry. It stood there looking around for an agonizing amount of time (4 minutes?) before flying away with the still-living bird in its talons.

We live inside our artificial environments, but nature proceeds all around us whether we happen to notice or not.

Squirrel in my garden. By the look of his ear, this fellow has been in a few fights!

It's another 100 degree day here in sunny Pleasanton (mid-May - pah) so I thought I'd enjoy the garden this morning before it got too hot. Seemingly I got too close and so I interrupted his morning sunbathing session.... He doesn't look too pleased about it either, but as he walked off towards the cherry tree one of the local mockingbirds spotted him and gave chase....

He's packing on the pounds in readiness for winter.

Only had a macro lens... not really suitable for squirrel hunting.

This little mama squirrel stopped by to raid the bird feeder and I talked her into posing for a few photos. She looked at the proofs and decided I wasn't as good as Olan Mills but I was much cheaper. She ordered the cheapest package. I've never been paid in nuts before.
