Backyard Activity

It is so cold outside that the activity in the backyard is best observed through the windows. We have a male cardinal that likes our maple tree. I’m sure the female is somewhere near but I haven’t spotted her yet.

And then there is the squirrel that discovered my makeshift birdfeeder (made with an old clamshell box that tomatoes came in and a Frisbee). I’m going to give up and buy a real bird feeder rather that feeding the squirrel family again!

There were 10 or so deer that dashed across our yard and into the forest. I couldn’t tell what had startled them out of the neighborhood and it was all over too quickly to get a picture.
