Went to West Guth Park along Up River Road [alongside Interstate 37] to check for Long Billed Curlews that frequent this area in the winter. Upon arrival and finding a place to park the car so I could get out and walk the grounds, I didn't find any curlews, so I utilized the camera on scenery...
...After climbing the hills and sidewalks I came upon the park's duck pond. Under a mighty Live Oak Tree a number of Fox squirrels were busy dining on the acorns that covered the ground. I always get a kick out of watching these and their busy routine while feeding. So cute...
Squirrel: I realized I am what I eat.....Nuts.
After walking around a couple of hours, I decided to return home. Still, I thought to myself as I slowly made it through the park to the exit..."No curlews today...wonder where they are?" Just as I neared the park gate, a flock of long billed curlews flew in and landed on the grassy knoll!! I took photos for my other blog, then left.
We have lots of squirrels, but they are the grey ones, not your fox squirrels. I love to watch them, too. Especially when they bury their nuts. So this wasn't the post you were hoping for, but I love it. Great squirrel shots.
ReplyDeleteSquirrels are so cute, so photogenic!
Deletescenery is always good especially if it's green. I'm getting very tired of seeing white. I love watching the squirrels. They are always entertaining.
ReplyDeleteNormally, winters are mild here. With continuing green.
DeleteWe had lots of squirrels when I lived in San Antonio. They are amazing how they can run on the electric wires and not fall down. I like their barking sound when they tease the dogs.
ReplyDeleteI know...they have quite a balancing act, don't they?
DeleteMy sister has a Papillion dog, a small little thing, but he has caught and dispatched seven squirrels in the past few years. Imagine! He shakes them until they die, not a scratch on them when he's done. :-)
ReplyDeleteFeisty little dog!
DeleteI am a sucker for squirrels. I think they are so cute. You have captured them so well!
ReplyDeleteMe too...tho they can do a lot of damage, they're still a favorite.
DeleteLove the squirrel shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fi!
DeleteLovely scenery. Squirrels all seem to be the same, busy.
ReplyDeleteBusy, for sure!
DeleteWe don't have fox squirrels but plenty of the little red devils. They are up and down the trees and running across the beachfront constantly. You really got great shots here!
ReplyDeleteI love 'em.
DeleteI so love #11!
ReplyDeleteCute with it peeking?
DeleteI'm glad you at least saw one curlew!
ReplyDeleteThe squirrels are cute!
I saw several when they all flew in...a treat.
DeleteYour squirrels are so red! Glad the curlews finally arrived. Better late than never. Happy 2018 Anni!
