It’s been a while since I posted anything on this thread and thought you might like the temp squirrel feeder I made.
I had a big Rubbermaid garbage can filled with cedar shavings and lost the top so put a piece of plywood on it to keep them dry til I need to use them in our planting beds. So instead of just dropping a few handfuls of peanuts by our door and watching blujays and crows swollen them while I put a few 4x4’s on plywood and added another piece of plywood on top with a few bricks to hold or down. Th back side of this little feeder maze is open to our living room and provides us some entertainment too. 3 of these were with their mom as babies hanging on the side of a tree I built a fence next to only a few feet from me last summer. Somehow our cat hasn’t decided to kill any of them (yet) so a few dollars for peanuts and they seem to enjoy this.
when peanuts are gone one of the squirrels sits on top on his or her back legs and hands across chest with that PLEASE LOOK.
it’s open in the front if they choose to enter the maze or done just climb over the back that is about 2 inches from our living room window.

Been super busy with a new job and stuff around the property. Haven't had a lot of time to edit photos. Just started working through some of my backlog the other day. I'll post up a few.

The small bird is a momma catbird that was screaming at a squirrel that was after her eggs.
The hawk picture was taken at a raptor rehab center. It was in a cage outside.
The raccoon shot was taken from my kayak just after sunrise.
The milkyway shot is a little wonky on the horizon because I was trying out a new star tracker mount.
The others are just closeup macro shots of bees and flowers.
Hope everyone is doing well.

This coyote used to follow my brush hog when i was mowing and eat the field mice that were exposed. She did it for several years in a row. After a while she got so bold as to follow the tractor within a few feet.

I took this picture driving down from the Palouse to the Snake River near my home.

As a Husky with a Coug daughter... I have to say this pic is what I love about the Palouse.
