Rainy Day on Cape Cod, Fat Squirrel, Contest, etc.
It's another rainy day here on the Cape... We had a few anemic rumbles of thunder, but nothing worth reveling in. (I used to live in Arizona... Now there are some electrical storms!) Anyway, in keeping with the less-than-perfect weather, I figured that I'd throw in the less-than-perfect picture below. That shot is of "Don the Squirrel". (Twixt you and I and the lamp post, it looks like Don has been "raiding the feeder" a little too often...)
Whoa! And there you go... apparently Don is shouting down at his earthbound friends who've been heckling him concerning his weight...
(Jeez... I hope Don is shouting at his friends and not at his little rodent shoes!)
Onward...
Got an email from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology regarding a "Funky Nest" contest. Sounds like fun.
Other stuff...
I tried to get a video of the hummingbirds yesterday. Instead, I got 54 minutes of moving cloud shadows. My hunch is that the tripod scared the little birds away. Alright... So now the challenge becomes one of setting out the "Flip Video" camera in such a way that it's situated properly and unobtrusive. Hmmm...
Wondering by the feeders...

Hilarious!! I've got a photo of one of my squirrels who, after munching on Black Oil Sunflower seed till his belly sticks out, climbing up on top of the patio fence, laying down, spread eagle, and just watching the rest of world go by.
Enjoy your blogs immensly.
