Interesting Creatures

A squirrel studied the suet feeder, climbed up and ate his fill. 


I saw a strange creature in a thrift store. What do you think it is?  

Lynn loves thrift stores, which is why we stopped at one after going to Winchester today to get an item she wanted for her dog Rufus. While in Winchester, I couldn't resist showing her the silo on the grounds of the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. It has undergone extensive remodeling since being acquired by the museum.



Now for a couple of real birds. Did you see the hawk I posted the other day? Here he is flying away.


And for this post's final picture, a male house finch posed so that he was framed by the railing on my deck.

  4. Linda, nice photo of the House Finch. He's so bright and ready for spring when he finds a mate who likes his red chest!

    1. It’s Henry. No, I’m kidding, I think it’s a red tailed hawk.

    Wow, it is cool inside the silo. Great capture of the Hawk in flight and the House Finch. The squirrel is showing off how flexible he can be at your feeder. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.

  8. Reminds me of the squirrels in my backyard who gleefully munch on the "squirrel-proof" seed I placed in the "squirrel-proof" bird feeders.

  11. We have a few squirrels that can hang upside down to eat the suet. Our seed feeders are SquirrelBusters so they can’t do it as easily.

  12. Nice of the finch to pose so perfectly. Lovely critters, real and not so real (the one in the thrift store is definitely different from anything I've ever seen ;>)).
