Realizing it's been something like 36 days with snow on the ground, piling up higher and higher (I mean, how could a squirrel get to a nut buried in the ground buried in 3' snow?), I put out some bird seed and a dish of water today. I hadn't thought of water, but apparently that's a real challenge for woodland critters in winter. I guess they can't eat snow? I actually can't find a source for that bit of info, but Mama says she heard it. So, you seasoned Yankees, what can we do for our little outdoor friends of suburban habitats when the snow is this deep?
Anyway, it didn't take long for the birds and squirrels to find the buffet.
Or for the cats to get agitated watching them!
