Watching the squirrel stretch to get food from the upper level and then quickly eat it -- you can see they are impressive creatures.


And they are getting so sleek and elegant in their grey coats.

That's true. You are right.

It's more interesting to follow them if each of the individual can be recognized - but it seems that it will be quite difficult for a human at least in winter time. Anyway they can recognize each other by themselves (how to say right.. :puzzled: ).

:laugh: The little one is there again, now at 9:00 in the morning, and its company (a big brother??) came at same time.. :D

I think they have been sleeping there in a same nest somewhere in a spruce top. The little one said before falling in sleep: But that was a good place, wasn't it. I'll go there at once in the morning as I get my eyes open! There they were sleeping side by side.

I has been a wet and windy night.

I opened the window to fill the feeder. The little just flied towards the big pine, but returned soon, and finished his lunch.
It was there about for two hours.

That was the afternoon watching a little squirrel to visit the feeder for the first time. I believe that it did not know the place earlier. It was almost stepping in the water pot, and it took time for him to find the second floor..
