SQUIRREL DU SOLEIL
06 Jul 2010
Allison was the perfect guest. I had a great time. One of the things we did was buy plants and potting soil, and decided we’d get me a bird feeder while we were out. We cleaned up the yard a little, planted a little, and hung the bird feeder out on the back deck.
Allison got a movie of the first guest, a stellers jay. 
Since then we’ve had cute little finches and lots of natural drama. All different types of birds and animals fighting for food. The big winner – hands down – is Trixie, the pole dancing squirrel. She picked up a bar code off the feeder that stuck to her tail which makes her look that much more trashy.
Here’s a copy of her Squirrel Du Soleil audition tape.

Ow ow! Trixie’s got some moves. I could learn a thing or two from her.
And I’m glad my mother left her mark with some potting soil, plants, and a bird feeder
We love bird watching at my house….

Trixie (perfect name for her, by the way) is bound to provide endless hours of amusement. Your yard is so perfect for attracting and enjoying wildlife. I look forward to more video – and picks of all your lovely potted flowers! (Be sure to pick up a hanging fuchsia for the hummers!)

Wow, what a squirrel! It’s fun watching her jump around. I enjoy watching the birds and squirrels in our yard, too. I’m a little upset with some stray cats right now, though…

That stellars jay is so beautiful! Very tricky little squirrel.
We have a lot of hummingbirds at our house. We used to have one that would ofteb perch on a curly little branch right outside our kitchen window. I have been missing him for the past few weeks though. I hope he comes back.
