She is easy to recognize if the brownish spots are seen. She behaves also quite calmly.

The face of Silk ear may look different from different angles, but her 'spots' reveal her at last. There was a deep bite on the right rib of her body and there is still like a hole on that place on the fur. But it relieving to see how well she has recovered.

pics from yesterday continue

The summer pictures allow one to see how much thicker her fur is now than in the summer.

....was Charley furious because he could not get the fat-ball out of the basket ?
Surely yesterday he ate so much...a whole fat-ball..!! that he can be so hungry today too .. Maybe its vital they eat a lot for their winter 'fast' ?

Good questions, macdoum. He tried to get the ball off even earlier, the day before yesterday before he jumped on the branch top and ate the whole fat ball there, in one hour. The ball is tied with an iron wire.

Charley is very handsome and he has lovely colours...but my printer is running out of ink-colours.. .
Olga,did you leave a note to tell the squirrels that the time is changing tonight.. :peek: .. they must wait for you to wake up as you have an extra hour of sleep. ..

What a nice video Maybe I have to construct one more feeder like that on the captures I took from the video. I have materials at hands, a saw and a hammer, also a piece of that transparent one:
