Chit*Chat*Chirp


While sitting & watching the local news and having a bite to eat, I heard a rather loud "bird chatter" outside my kitchen window. I became witness to a "thrashing" given by a mockingbird to a young squirrel. The bird was perched on my tri-trellis, and the squirrel was nestled in the crook of the tree.

You can see the short distance between the trellis and tree.

Why? My squirrel loves the bird seed in the bird feeder. Yes, my squirrel. After many times of shooing him away from the bird feeder and losing the battle, I finally gave up and enjoyed his company. We now talk to each other.

Yes...I'm a little crazy but hey! Life is short...enjoy life. Even if talking to a squirrel brings you joy.
