So I was in the Way Back of my yard, trying to negotiate a treaty with the crows. Suddenly, I saw an animal trying to hide, so I thought it was a #rabbit. But also I could actually see it, which meant it was NOT a rabbit. Then it started running.
It was a #squirrel. I've never seen a squirrel hide before, but I found out why. It had a black #walnut
I could just give this back to him. They are tasty, but very difficult to open. I usually leave them for the squirrels anyway.
Is this thing on? My last photo got exactly 0 reactions. Oh well, let's try THIS squirrel pose and see if there's anyone out there. #nature#naturephotography#squirrel#nikonZ8
Today, I put a camera on the ground. These are not perfect photos but I found them hilarious. The adult Groundhog is a momma of four, and the second photo is one of them. The squirrel and Chipmunk also cracked me up. #critters#groundhog#squirrel#chipmunk#wildlife#funnyanimals#Ostdrossel
The #squirrels are now bringing the peanuts I put out for them on the fence each morning and burying them in the flower pots next to our back windows. Perhaps they’ve run out of stash spaces in the woods behind us? Making a return offering to show their appreciation? Subtly trying to communicate “enough with the peanuts already”?
