Our Backyard Friends

It's December, and it's COLD!!!! Thom and I have been taking good care of our friends in the back yard. We have cardinals, finches, and chickadees, occasionally there is a hawk that comes to visit. I think he's really checking out the fish in the pond, luckily right now they're hiding, and the pond is freezing over.  We quickly found out that when you feed the birds, you also get the squirrels and yes they are our squirrely friends. The little boy that lives next door calls him squirrelo, and he loves to pose for pictures. He is quite the character and now all his friends know where we live, try to keep them out of the bird feeders! That's Ok we take care of all our little critters!
