Thank you Olga for so much beauty.
The visitor of 26th May must surely to be a mother or mother- to-be!!
More visitors next winter. You will have to save-up money to feed the whole tribe.
Looks like you will have lots of apples too. Do squirrels eat apples, I wonder ?

2nd June.
One week has gone, and many pics are waiting.. The life of Squirrels is going on and anything very special has happened, no accidents, no fights, no rush of new guests. There are two main guests, the Grayish Squirrel - and Silk ear. The 'mother' Squirrels visits every now and then. Maybe there have been other Squirrels, but I have not notices them, or not recognized all of the former visitors because the squirrel fur color is changing from gray to brown..
some pictures:
27th May was a rainy day..
What's that, a giant nut..
No, these are more tasty..

Wait, I'm coming to you, don't eat all of them!
It's empty, but there is something, there on the bottom..
How to get them!

28th May
On the cloudy morning, the first visitor.. A shy small squirrel, gray still.. Have I seen it before, I'm not sure..
She was the next visitor, but she showed only her back to me, stayed there more than for one half an hour..
Silk ear watching the dogs..

Silk ear
Nut's, please..
No? Come on..
The nut storage is on my work table, on a small green pot, I opened the window to put a handful nuts in the feeder, but then something happened, dogs were barking loudly on the other corner on the garden. I run to look at what could it be.. some summers there have been moose eating bushes behind the fence.. but no.. I could not understand what my dogs had seen..
Well, I forgot the pot on the feeder sill!

30th May
Some visitor of the day, it's fun but this one had like a smile on her face! ...
She, the mother Squirrel.. wondering perhaps where the nuts come from.. if not from behind the black curtain so.. let's see.. I'll wait here..
At last my only apple tree which makes eatable apples opened the blossoms

The last day of May
31rd May
I had time to follow the feeder visitors. The Woodpecker seems have made an invasion..she (I guess that it is a she.. )
20 pictures follow..
..but the first visitor is the mother squirrel.. waiting for..me.. no, not me but to guess what.. early in the morning
There she is.. making calls when she lands behind the window, the same when she leaves it with one nut on her beak.. She flies not far.. because she comes back very soon..
Back again..She does not care of dogs.

31st May
at about 11:00
There she is back again.. She seems to have found the place she likes..Of course I have seen her many times around the area, but she has visited the feeder just seldom
Oh, no! This is not right for a proud Woodpecker, to have to sit on the tail.. What could I do..

1ts June
Early in the morning:
I disturbed the morning atmosphere and made some constructions there, more suitable for the woodpecker.It is not right that a woodpecker has to sit on her tail anywhere..
The new perches were ready at 11:21. The woodpecker landed there at 11:23! Some pics follow from the first minute she checked the constructions! She accepted them without any hesitation
