MEET SUMO PETE

Mmmm - more food, greasy suet – Yummm!

Looks like Sumo Pete is preparing for Sumo Wrestling in the Squirrel Olympics. Do you think he has put on enough weight to get through the winter? Looks like he has enough to get through next winter, too! I’ve never noticed any of the squirrels looking this heavy – must be just the angle while he’s plastered against the tree. If squirrels used napkins, Pete here would need a mighty big one – I’ll bet his little squirrel face has grease from ear to ear. (Speaking of his ears, notice how far he has them pinned back – they’re usually sticking straight up on top of the head.)

Difficult to choose today’s blip – a pretty female cardinal, and a decent male shot (for once!), along with a tiny red squirrel are on Flickr. Sumo Pete won out just because he made me laugh every time I saw him.

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
