Not a very interesting or pretty shot but I wanted to show different species hanging out around the feeder. In this case two mourning doves and a little black/brown squirrel.The doves are funny to watch. They waddle around on the ground bobbing their heads.  They generally follow each other, or rather it looks likes the male follows the female around and occasionally he'll sort of pester her for some "attention". He nudges her head and just kind of gets in her face and she makes him go away. And he does and the eat for a while until it happens again. It's cute.

The day got sunnier as the morning progressed. I just filled the bird feeders the day before, but most of them were still staying away. There was a woodpecker (check my flickr stream), and this cute grey/brown squirrel. The woodpeckers often come when none of the others do. The squirrels are there all the time.

The grey/brown colors are unusual for Albion where most of the squirrels have either dark brown or black fur.

This was a close-up taken through the kitchen window.
