He comes down and harasses my Boston Terrier with his constant chattering. My dog used to get so frustrated.

We had one nest in our planter when I lived in Tallahassee. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday we had a snowstorm here, so it's hard to think about Spring, but before the snow, I saw hyancinths and lilies pushing up. Also, we're getting our summer birds back - robins, finches, flickers, and my favorite little White-crowned sparrows (or skunky-birds, as I like to call them).B.E.

I love squirrels, and I've managed to get him to come all the way across the yard to the back porch for bread crumbs. Yesterday he was perched on a tall tree stump just outside the dining room windows, eating the heel of a length of french bread while we were eating lunch. I caught a couple pictures of him to post later. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and we have rain. Lots and lots and lots of rain (spring in the northwest--woot).C.
