The little critters in the backyard provide hours of entertainment for both Cyndie and I as well as our dachshund girls and now the kitty too. We go out of our way to invite them into our backyard to eat, play and get in all sorts of bird feeder mischief. Most of the year they all run about in the wood behind the house. We see them here and there, but nothing like this time of year. It is good see that the them are still around, getting comfortable and belly’in up to the feeders. They are especially fond of casa de la squirrel hut. Complete with a hopper-feeder full of black sunflower seeds. If you look close you can see Red Foreman in the corner next to the feeder. He is an ornery cuss and does not care much for the other grays.
Here are the ladies and gents in no particular order. There are close to two dozen that will meander around the backyard at one time.
This is the 2nd part of the time-lapse I shot on Friday, November 13th, 2015. This was shot in the same location as Sun Flares; utilizing a different angle of view.
Sun Flares was shot in the direction of the blue arrow and this sequence in the direction of the red arrow. The location is along a stretch of Rustic Road 51 close to from Maiden Rock, WI (off of Hwy 35 and AA). My original intent was to tie the two different angles of view together with a third, but the third sequence did not turn out. The result was two independent parts instead of a three-view start to finish video. I’ll try again.
I didn’t anticipate any traffic, but I am glad I positioned the camera just off the road. Six cars came through while I was shooting. Here is the other view from the 2 1/2 hours of shooting.
