December 30, 2011-More Critters And Birds

I'm worried about this young squirrel because it is losing it's fur. It won't make it through the cold winter probably.

This squirrel was just sitting there in the bush and then came down to beg. They look so cute when they do that.

I still have this rat around. It must have dug itself a deep hole for the winter. It comes out of the same spot all the time now. I'm wondering how many more there will be in the spring. unless I give him a poison ball to take back to his den. I'm so used to him now that I hate doing it but I know what I'm in for if I don't. It's something I have to think about. But for now he's free. I don't have to worry about him killing any chipmunks. They are in their dens now for a couple months maybe, unless it gets real warm.

More Mourning Doves.
