Front lawn visitors

Despite all the snow, our front lawn has had a couple of visitors recently!

Last week we had a snow bunting. He stayed around for hours, eating sunflower seeds off the front lawn that I tossed out for him. He even sat on the feeder a few times:20140327-DSC_0138

This little rodent was racing all around in the blizzard yesterday, digging tunnels under the bird feeder:

Today, this neighbourhood cat stopped by for a visit, before Monty spotted him from the window and scared him away.

We’ve seen this cat a few times over the last couple of years, but he is not tame, at least not with me. I was worried when I thought his ear tips looked black after a particularly cold few days earlier this winter, but I’m glad to see them looking intact and healthy today!

  1. It’s sad to think that may be a feral cat, left to its own devices …

    Lovely Snow Bunting. I think the little fuzzy is mole or a vole ?

    1. There are several cats we see once in awhile. I don’t know if they are truly feral, or if they are neighbour’s outdoor cats. One did have kittens under the front deck one fall. I caught the two kitties after they were weaned, kept one (Sally), and found the male another home.
