Squirrel: Hey Lady! Whatcha’ Lookin’ At?

I guess I was just in time. The birdbath was almost empty of water. With single-digit temps and some snow on the way tonight I wanted to make sure my wildlife friends are stocked up with food and water.

I noticed the birdbath was low when I looked out the window and saw about eight birds gathered around the rim. After filling it, I waited a while before I went to check again to see if they’d returned.

It was then I was gifted with that funny looking “bird” I see now and then that also likes to take advantage of the birdbath.

Luckily, I had my phone in hand to capture the above photo and snapped a few more.

What really cracked me up when I viewed the photos on my phone afterward is this one…

I guess Squirrel wasn’t my appreciating me invading his space and it looks like in this shot he is saying, “Hey lady! Whatcha’ looking’ at?”

This is what I appreciate about squirrels. They always bring a smile to my face and make me laugh.

And just as I was finishing writing this post I heard some commotion outside Joyful Pause Cottage windows…yup…Squirrel is now after the birdseed. Well, he’s gotta eat and stay warm too.
