Baby squirrels looking cute

Last year we had three baby squirrels born and raised in one of the bird boxes at the rear of our house. We have watched these babies grow over the last year and we have called them the three amigos as they all tend to stick together and look after each other – not something you see in squirrel world very often.

Yesterday they were playing and eating from our deck and they are sooo cute I just couldn’t resist taking a few photos – well lots actually but here are a few.

It is so rare to see three squirrels so close to one another and not fighting.

Baby flickers seen for first time

We have had lots of baby birds in the garden but yesterday we spotted the first baby flicker. He was being fed by his dad.

This morning I noticed a whole bunch of birds in the front garden and it turned out to be the male flicker with three babies.
