Cool Nature Photos

After sitting in the trees for an hour, the owl flew and sat on the Martin box. He sure looks well fed. We have no rabbits and our squirrel numbers are dwindling.

Trumpeters seen in a swamp near Lake Ste Kathryn Campground in the Ottawa NF yesterday. This is in the UP of Michigan. Sections of the swamp was still frozen. They were some distance from us, so my photos are poor.

We have some albino which are really gray squirrels, who come to our feeder. We sometimes have more than one here at a time and yes, they have pink eyes. We've seen them here for 20+ years so those we see today, must be there kits. How could we have so many here?? They seem to do fine. Does anyone else see this?

I’ve never seen a white squirrel before either. So neat.

Thanks for sharing.

We have grey, brown and black, saw a white deer once, but never an albino squirrel

I know they exist, but have never seen a white one. I did see a black one once upon a time, but that's the only one I have ever seen.

We have black ones here as well. Seems these gray squirrels have lots of color variety, like coyotes do. But the white albino ones??!!??

Seems the red poles are visiting us again on there way north this year. They didn't the past few years. Someone told us they do "wondering migration" hence you won't see them every year. They consum about 1/3 of that feeder of niger per day.

Nothing like sunshine and snow banks while riding the high mountain ridges on a warm spring day......

What's with the giant one at the top of the hill?

Weird perspective.

Wild guess, but I'm thinking that's a mature tom and the rest are hens or very young toms.

 

[MossRoad]

I'm just guessing it's popped it's head up and is up high on one foot so it looks huge. Kinda comical though, as it looks like a giant compared to the rest.

You might need to explain the birds and the bees to Moss
