The day after writing the blog post about only seeing black squirrels out and about this winter, I saw a few more animals. The weather was sunny and warm...
A sudden movement in the backyard hedge caught my eye. A long-tailed chipmunk came running along.
Later a small red squirrel crossed our bare driveway. I missed photographing both the chipmunk and the red squirrel, as I wasn't ready - and they quickly disappeared ...
Then, through the window - and screen - I saw a black squirrel with no tail coming across the road. I managed to snap a photo.
(I wonder what happened to the tail.)
I also noticed large tracks in the snow on top of a garage roof - visible over the fence across the street.
I suspect they were made by a raccoon.
It's a busy world out there, now that the sun is out and the weather is warming up! I wonder if the fact that it's garbage pickup day is also bringing out the neighborhood animals.
