OC's '07 Critters
OC had a new nocturnal visitor on his deck last night . OC heard a noise out thee, turned on the deck light and this is what he saw - an OPOSSUM eating Safflower seeds from the Bird feeder. Since he didn't move when he turned on the light, OC slowly opened the door, camera in hand and shot away.....Only thing he's had to post in a zillion days. Supposed to be sunny today, but so cloudy, that the squirrel and bird pictures he took were not worth editing. Maybe tomorrow......OC grinning from ear to ear, just like the possum
OC needs to adds that the possum was soaking wet and the feeder was swinging. sorry for the fuzz.

New Squirrel on OC's Deck
OC knows he is new to his deck (he has several now that play Nascar each day with each other) because he wasn't sure about the peanut butter OC puts out for the Woodies and the Possum. OC made a sequence of pictures as he spotted it, smelled it, tasted it, and finally jumped right in......Will show all of these over the coming week.. Please enjoy - OC sure did.....

OC... I've never been able to get a decent photo of a junco... they are so small and move too quickly. Love the carolina wren!

Hungry Squirrel
Can't put out ENOUGH food for hem. Between them and the possum who is still around, they clean the deck off every day. Have to wait until it warms up in the morning to go out to feed them again.
