Today Dana & I were looking at the sunflowers. We have a squirrel feeder in the back yard and they love to eat the sunflower seeds and the corn kernels. Well the story is they sometimes toss off the sunflower seeds off the feeder. We used to get large sunflower heads that were dried out and it was interesting to see how much they've eaten and where it ended up in the yard.I think they are going to have a feast this year. We have several of sunflowers at the tree. I'm interested to see them eat the seeds. We keep feeding them. Squirrels are so neat to watch with their little hands eating their food. We had chopped down and trimmed up some of our trees in the backyard. They weren't coming around after that for awhile. So we are really glad that they are coming back to the tree.
We used to have two baby squirrels and it was kind of neat to see them get big over a little while. The two little squirrels were so small that they managed to get into the feeder. I was worried at first and thought it was stuck but realized that it was the way they were getting to the food. I never was so aware of squirrels until we had started to feed them. I like to see the black ones when they wag their tails. We hope sometime in the future to add a larger squirrel feeder.
