Squirreling Around on Labor Day

We enjoyed a nice time with my parents at Bay Point Park in Red Wing, Minnesota this Labor Day.  The squirrels at that park are quite friendly.  This female eastern grey squirrel notices a "regular" approaching, and her cute poses did not go unrewarded.  

The man told me that these are bold little squirrels and do their part to keep the park clean.  They pick up the picnic leftovers.

Something spooked her up a tree.  But before long, she was ready for more.

The squirrels are wary of the nearby eagles and may be hiding if one is flying near by.

Song Sparrow

If you look closely, her mouth is full of an afternoon snack.

Enjoy!

Green Bulrush

I saw this water plant last year, but had no clue what it was.  This year I found identification: Green Bulrush.  The  roots were food for Pioneers and Native Americans.  Waterfowl like to eat the seeds.


Enjoy!
