Brenda...that's a GREAT shot! Squiggles (that for when I can't remember how to spell 'squirrel' :-D) are so much fun to watch...and they literally get in *anything*. I wish I'd had the camera the day I walked up on the high deck at our place on the river, I went to put the key in the door and heard a rusltling behind me. I knew the only thing there was a plastic container of birdseed... Yep! The squiggle was IN the container, he/she had gnawed a hole large enough to fit inside and it was having a blast! Until, I showed up, that is. Oh...and that reminds me of another cutie...I think I know where the picture is, so I'll upload it as soon as I'm finished here.

Mary, if that's the bird's bill in the picture, I think you might have caught a Woodcock with your camera. At first I was thinking 'shore bird' of some kind, but the silhouette sure matches the Woodcock in my guide book.


Now here's my nature shot for the day...
This little guy was probably the one in the plastic container earlier...but here he decided to "move in" to my empty feeder. I just love this shot! (Look at his face! :-D)
