It Looks Like Winter

Yesterday there was ice on the lake and the geese were able to march around on it. Today some of it melted but we still have a few inches of snow on the ground.


This little sparrow is waiting for a turn at the bird feeder, or perhaps for some seed to fall onto the snow.


The squirrel doesn't wait for a turn. He takes what he wants until I scare him away. He comes back, though.

I need to get him some peanuts. I don't mind feeding him but I want to see birds on my feeders.

    Hello Linda, I already saw your message in my reading list and now with a nice reaction from you to my writing. I don't always respond because sometimes people don't come back to see it at all and I prefer to visit the website like I do now. What a great blog to see and read and still no snow or frost here. And yes the squirrel also wants to collect some and chase away doesn't help as you already noticed. Because he also loves your food for the birds. And then it is indeed a tip to put some walnuts of hazelnuts for him of her at the tree where he/she might be. Wish you a beautiful day when it starts and then certainly beautiful moments for every day. LG, Tine Be also welcome to read more on my 2 websites.

    Hello,
    It is cute to see the geese walking across the ice. The squirrels are on my feeders more than the birds. They are cute piggies, they can finish off my bird seed a few times a day. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post.
    Take care, have a great Sunday! I wish you a happy new week ahead. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    Lovely photos of wintertime. Dear squirrel, you are definitely an opportunist! I'm sorry not to have feeders (not allowed at apartments) but am glad to see yours here!

    The ice looks cold but it's fun to see the geese walk on water. Squirrels never give up.

    It seems strange to see snow and ice so early as we don't normally see it until January, if at all. You're very generous giving Sammy his own nuts but I get your thinking.

    That squirrel is devious, but cute.
