my porch

even though i am about 3 stories up and above the majority or trees, my porch seems to attract critters. i have birds of all sorts coming for the bird food, strange small geckos, and occasional anole, snakes and now, a squirell (is that how you spell it?) it seems to be coming for the bird food too. i found the bag with a hole chewed in it so i put it in the closet. now it is helping itself to the dish. all things considered, she ( i am guessing the sex here) seems pretty unafraid. i clicked and she came right up to the door to investigate. i am pretty sure she was posing for the pictures. as long as it is only 1, i can handle sharing. if more come, i will have to take action to protect my food supply. it seems that squirrells arent nearly as prolific here as they are in austin so maybe i wont have a problem. the birds seem upset about having to share, though. they are chattering angrily at it.
