that was weird. temperatures are up and down and up and ... found a september photo of a hare, also in cement series.
white-tailed jack rabbit
note: one side of ear is white, and the black tips stay all year. the rain lasted an hour, then winds, then snow, then a clear cold sunny day.
Eastern grey squirrel
SNAPSHOT, Eastern grey squirrel. it plants many seeds (see birdseed collections) and eats sweet peas, zucchini, pumpkin, quinoa, potato and various sprouts.

there is a lady in the UK who lost chicken feed and eggs and now makes pâté for Friends of the Anglesey Red Squirrels.

this year's sunflower. shady: it probably won't even open. which led me to think that it was birds. (not squirrels.) at any rate, a long spindly surprise.
sunflower
so, in the tree. last year: under an eave in a sunny spot. and what a great year for birds it's been. a massive snowy owl. a six foot wingspan in a winter slomo dream, a funky yellow warbler in yellow autumn leaves. the patch of cedar waxwings. an awesome crow, took its HUGE dry bread chunk ..to a roadside puddle. the big awkward owlets.
