Tiger, my little old outdoor kitty meowed in my window about 1 AM and I gave him a can of food. I was really glad to see him.

'just' South Pacific and West Side story, and 'tail end' of sunrise!

Glad you could feed kitty; 'my' wild ones feed themselves.

We have a family of squirrels in the backyard that I just love watching. Yes, they make a mess and sometimes scare away the birds, but I love watching them climb the bird feeder poles to get to the seed in the bird feeders. It is especially fun to watch them when we've had rain. Takes them several tries to shinny up the pole. It's a spiral twirl downwards until they dry off the pole, but they never seem to get dizzy. Hope everyone is okay. Thanks for the lovely photos! Take care.

amuse me sometimes too.

A few years ago, before I started noticing osprey, I planted roses in large pots @ my front door, but ended up stopping, as squirrels seemed to enjoy roots, and I couldn't keep them alive, so I quit.

Caught this one @ my back door, and it's relatives 'around' sometimes.
