It is an early summer evening, I am sitting on the deck with my wife, enjoying the relatively cool temperature and the closeness of the trees. My wife likes to feed the local wild life some bread. The local wild life consists of squirrels and birds. Sometimes a bunny rabbit plays in the backyard but today he was not around…..only the squirrels and a variety of birds…..a humming bird, a cardinal, a very black crow and a blue bird.
They all feast on the bread that my wife dispenses and drink the water which she provides. The birds and the squirrels actually tolerate each other very well. The crows are somewhat skittish and the other wild life is leery of the crows presence…..All in all the whole menagerie behave quite well when their is food on the table.
Occasionally we get a little snow during the winter. The wild life still hangs around our back yard. When it snows they need a little additional help to find food. My wife continues to pamper the critters and they continue to call our backyard home. I think that it is amazing how they will tolerate each other and litterally share the food.
