We have teeny critters, medium sized ones, and larger friends.
This is Dratted Red Squirrel (DRS), and I thought this was an artsy video, with the sun shining.
Daisy, a cat we used to have. did classic bear.
This is one of my favourite photos of him. If you click on it and zoom in, you can see the daffodils leaves in his mouth. Labbit eats the same way, taking one end in its mouth, and chewing it up like spaghetti.
By August, Fred has 'carbo loaded.' OK, not carbs, but greens. That all he eats above ground.
The snow is probably half what I have shovelled off the back deck. It is piling up!
Since I put a feeder out the back door, Juncos, mice, DRS and Labbit are finding it.
We call this 'doing bear' when they rise on their hind legs the way we see bears stand.
As I walked up the driveway to fetch mail, the deer were in the backyard.
Labbit did 'bear' out back the other day.
As did DRS!
Lots of our critters do this. Bears do this, of course.
Cinnamon keeping his eye on DRS, I think, standing on the front deck bench.
Then there is Fred Groundhog. There are many predators about. More so in summer. He's sleeping the winter away. He does bear all the time. (Labbit is staying in his burrows for the time being.)
This is Fred in June. He slims down during his winter slumbers. He eats like mad all summer, then disappears. Fred goes to his winter burrow in early September and comes back in late March-ish.
I shall look forward to seeing him in spring! Labbit disappears, of course.
