Great! A new Topic for the Finnish squirrels.
It looks promising.
In this morning again there was someone at the place before the sun rice, before 8:00.
Who ever it was he/she ate the rest of the nuts that there had been.
No nuts, only some oat flakes were left.
He (I think it's a he) left but didn't go far. I opened the window, added nuts on the feeder, turned the light off because it makes reflections which may spoil pictures when it is this kind of cloudy morning:

Today at 14:45
Is he a new visitor? At first I thought that he is the same squirrel as yesterday, but he is not. His tassels are a bit smaller. And the color of the tassels is different too. Cousins?

It looked that sweet as he cleaned his paws that I made a short video of part of the cleaning process, and changed this part to run in slow.
Soon he left, but he looked behind like saying that he will return.

Hello
Now I see that I have put the last pictures of squirrels and the sun set videos in the old, last Summer Topic!
What if I add them here too?.. I can't move the comments there, but if I move just 'copies'? ..hm.. two time same posts, here and there. Boring perhaps..
Here you can see squirrels from yesterday, some pictures and two videos:
the first squirrel:
the second squirrel:

and here are two videos of the yesterday's sunset:

The first picture of the light show in the sky:
at 15:57

Welcome back to Automn Olga...it didn't seem fair you had summer and we have winter.
I don't suppose the squirrels care what we call the season. They only know that its time to eat as much as possible and even make stores for the wintertime.
They are very glad you can provide.!!

I agree Olga, your squirrels are not boring. It must be a lot of work, and we are very grateful for all the beautiful pictures and stories...thank you

Your squirrels are never boring, Olga! Even if they are here twice! I think it's my fault, because I posted the woodpecker holes there and you answered there as well.
