Critter of the Day: my little chickadee

I just uploaded another batch of photos from the feeding station outside our living room window. I’ll be posting the last of the March images over the next while, starting with this little cutie!

The chickadees like to grab seed from the feeders, then go into the lilac branches. There, we can see them pecking at the branch they are on, apparently trying to break the seed they brought with them. The blue jays like to do the same thing with sunflower seeds.

Winter came back, and updates

We have had some very long days, recently.

On the plus side, we missed driving from the city in the middle of a storm! The roads were clear while driving from the city, but in the time it took me to set my husband back up in his hospital room and start driving home, it hit. The storm came in from the south, so it basically followed us as we were driving. On my way home, visibility was down to 100-200 yards.

That kiboshed my plans to come back in the afternoon.

Critter of the Day: ‘morning, George

Another photo of some strange deer my daughter got for me, early in March.

It’s like they’re greeting each other while changing shifts. :-D

The incoming deer has some very distinctive eyebrows. I think it is one that we saw about this time last year, too! I should go back over my old photos and see.

Critter of the Day: stranger blep

Another one of the photos of some strange deer my daughter caught, earlier this month. This is the deer with the antler nubbins she saw.

My daughter knows me well – she knew I would love it if she got a tongue blep for me! :-D
