Cute Minnesota Wildlife


Chipmunks, for instance.

(This picture comes from a website I 'googled', in case you're interested.)



Yesterday, I mowed around the corner of the propane tank...and I guess the excavation began after I'd graciously cleared the site.
By evening, a LOT of gravel was already piled up. From my office, I could watch him* burrow--lol, it's really cool to see. Such quick little kicks, and the dirt literally flew!
(No problem--at least he didn't choose the middle of the yard.)
*Who really cares if it's a him or a her?








Ha! I just took this picture through the screen:

So, I went back in the house to "post about it " Open Mouth ...lol

As I sat down at the computer, I heard (What's that???) rapid bump! bump! bumps...ON the house. Oh, oh...MORE wildlife for YOU!!

LOL...must be young woodpeckers, 'cuz they (THEY!) let me get pretty close:










Sheesh...now I need to do some hole filling on the house. I found at least 6 small caverns on the east and south sides...damn.

How cute is all that wildlife NOW, Birdie, huh?

  1. Ya know, just 'cause Anon told you not to post anything interesting while she was in Italy doesn't mean that you get to take a two-week vacation. . .
