This morning over breakfast I counted 8 squirrels at one time attacking our feeders. Yesterday we had a visit from our local white squirrel. It's hard to get a good photo shooting through dirty glass but I wasn't about to do the National Geographic thing and position myself amidst the feeders in the cold (11 degrees outside right now). Besides it is hard to time when the white squirrel will appear so having my camera nearby in a nice warm house is enough preparation.By the way, Nicki suggested I mention that many of the feeders used in our photos come from Wild Birds Unlimited. The feeders actually attract birds too which are then available for a local hawk that has visited as recently as today.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer had an article about “Enchanting Ellicottville” in their Sunday Travel section today. You can read it online by clicking this link or this link. The crowds will probably be horrendous in Ellicottville now. Glad they didn’t mention the real Dina’s. The map in the paper did show Little Valley.

Nice pictures of squirrels! Ryan learned about migration a few weeks ago (and how some birds stay here) and insisted that we get a feeder to "feed the birds that don't go to Floor-i-da". We're getting lots of squirrels too (not any cool white ones) and had a hawk visit last weekend, which we saw dive-bomb into the front bushes after something.
