The other day I put a trash can lid of bird seed out on my deck. I put it on top of my snow covered table. My kids and my cats love to watch the birds visit and eat the seeds. Yesterday, I saw a very plump squirrel trying to reach the trash can lid. He couldn't quite get to it since the deck was covered in a few feet of snow. It was funny to watch him try and try again several times. I never did see him succeed. I may have to get him his own container of seeds! What animals have you seen in your yard during these cold, snowy days of winter? What were they doing?
Well this squirrel didn't give up and he did finally get to that seed! He visits us several times a day!!
Hi Mrs. Audino,
We have been seeing so many deer in our backyard looking for food in the snow! My dog even work us up at 2 in the morning when they came to the front door to eat the dead plants in the planters!

Katie that is so great! I'm glad you got to SEE the animal who ate your tasty snack!! Sometimes we leave out yummy treats that seem to magically disappear and we never know what type of belly was filled up. Lucky you! Thanks for sharing!
