This little squirrel was sitting on our deck railing two days ago just before she jumped over to our bird feeder about 3 feet away to gorge herself with bird seed! It amazes me how well these little critters can function even in the extreme cold temps we have been having of late! God provides (in this case, with a little help from the Fischer’s bird seed)!!
