Last summer while Jaxen was off track from school we each painted a bird feeder for our back yard. We live just a couple blocks from one of the many small nature reserves here in Elk Grove. We thought it would be fun to make a back yard habitat. The birds did indeed enjoy fruit, nuts and seeds that we provided and so did this little guy. He decided to hang around for a bit and become our new neighbor. Some people get really annoyed with squirrels but I tend to think they are adorable and am happy to see them in our back yard. The squirrel and the birds all shared their yummy goodness! Jaxen named him Professor Oak. He's been a fun neighbor to have. He drives the cats crazy and when they chase him up the tree he turns around and starts to yell at them. It's fun and amusing to watch. One can only imagine what our little friend is saying when he's chirping at the cats. Lucky for him our cats don't seem interested in climbing trees. Maybe we will build him his own little house. He sure is a cute little neighbor! We all get really excited when we see him.
