THIS HYBRID FLICKER MAY BE NEW OR MAY BE THE ONE THAT CAME TO OUR GARDEN LAST YEAR. ANYWAY, IT'S HANGING AROUND WITH SOME OF THE FEMALES AND WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE A FEW INTERGRADE FLEDGLINGS HERE IN THE SPRING . . .
TEN YEARS AGO, ALL THE SQUIRRELS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WERE DOUGLAS' SQUIRRELS, LIKE THIS ONE; THEN BLACK, SILVER AND REDDISH FORMS OF THE GRAY SQUIRREL TOOK OVER THIS AREA. THIS IS THE FIRST DOUGLAS' SQUIRREL WE'VE SEEN IN OUR GARDEN IN YEARS.
A NEW SQUIRREL HAS TURNED UP HERE - THIS ONE HAS SUCH A PRETTY SILVER GRAY COAT AND WHITE EAR TUFTS
