Mother and three babies exploring our backyard at 7am. One baby climbed the maple tree
and promptly fell out - mum rushed over to see he was OK. This baby came up to the patio door.
Fallen seed from the feeder above is the attraction. I was sitting right on the other side -
no social distancing - but with the harsh sunlight he could only see his reflection in the glass and not me.


This one climbed into the flower tub on the back step. Here I've been blaming the squirrels
for wrecking the begonias. Their fur is full of sparkles from playing in the tray of water
I put out fresh for them every night in hopes they won't tip over the bird baths.
