Wordless Wednesday
I’m not sure if this is a Gopher or a Prairie Dog, but whatever it is I imagine that it was just trying to enjoy the nut it found when the birds around it decided that they wanted their share too.
I think the birds are Grackles. I didn’t see many of this kind of bird this year, but they usually love our bird feeders!
I guess this Prairie Dog knows how we feel when we eat outside and we’re all of a sudden surrounded by Sea Gulls or Pigeons. Eh?
Schanzerx says
These Birds are just nasty! Alfred Hitchcock was right!
Poor little gopher or prairie dog…
Bobby says
LOL… Now that is a pretty cool picture… The prairie dog needs to take that nut and run.
Lynne says
That’s funny! I find myself feeling sorry for the porr fella!

karen says
The birds almost look like fledging teenagers with those white flecks…maybe this poor critter did the Disney thing and raised up a brood of some other species, and now can’t get them out of the house. Teenagers, what are ya gonna do?
Jean-Luc Picard says
