Action Shots: Squirrels and Robins

Twice, on consecutive days, I’ve seen a squirrel come out of this hole. I’m wondering if there are babies in there.

One squirrel chased another down a tree and across this path. I missed the first squirrel, but here’s his pursuer.

This is one of the previous two Robbins a few minutes later. He’d (or she) been doing a lot of eating.

Perhaps he was defending his hoard of nuts. Squirrels are scatter hoarders. They deposit nuts all over the place and it’s quite a feat of memory that they can remember where.

A neighbor’s cat. He was crying at a door, but I’ve seen him go into another house in the past. Then the moment he saw me, he came to get pet.
Robins! European robins look different, I don’t think they are the same bird 🙂
If I recall correctly, they’re not even related. European settlers saw a reddish bird and called it by a name they knew.
I was once reading about the inaccuracies in the movie version of Marry Poppins and one is the appearance of an American Robin.
