Outside My Window.... Wednesday

There are more than birds
at the feeder outside my window

Groundhog



I saw the branch move and noticed this one:


We have a lot of squirrels but this time
 of year they pretty much
bounce from limb to limb
threw the leave canopy

We get a lot of birds because
 there is a huge Mulberry Tree
outside this window
It does get rather messy


Mourning Dove




We also have a bunny
but they are rather shy
