Saturday’s Critters – Flying Squirrel & a Sitting Hawk

DSCF0019

My backyard trailcam captured this image of a squirrel jumping up on a bird bath. It looks like it is giving the camera some side eye, like “watch this!”

Hawk on fence

Earlier in the week we had another backyard visitor. A Cooper’s Hawk came and sat on the back fence for maybe a half hour. Probably on the lookout for squirrels. Sorry for the fuzzy photo I shot it through a window and it was raining.

    Love the mid air squirrel photo. The Hawk is impressive, I guess it is looking for it’s next meal.
    Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

    I had 3 flying squirrels that fell out of one of our trees. Since the mom never came back I got them food from the feed store. I put a towel in a bog, hooked a heat lamp to it. I had them until they died.

    A very cute squirrel shot, it does seem to know it’s being watched! I have hawks around, but I also have large owls, and several times the hawks are found beheaded under my cedars. Smaller birds too, and a large rat… I can see how small cats and dogs disappear, although I read when they get pets it’s usually mistaken identity.
