I followed your name to your blog, too, and stopped and read for a while. Very nice. I have bookemarked it so I can go back to it. By the way, I am an old friend of Amy/Flandrumhill, and I live in B.C.

I’ve been cutting back the amount of sunflower seeds I put out. I noticed a little vole scrambling around this morning, no doubt looking for something to nibble on.

I don’t think I could warm up to a rat either Cindy. That nook’s right on the edge of the woods and seems to be a place where birds and squirrels feel safe.

Hate when we have to trap them out at camp!?! My step-daughter brought a pet rat home from college once – it had been her psych experiment and it either had to find a home or go to rat heaven. We had it for awhile but I never really warmed up to old Max. Lovely, green nook in your yard, Amy.

And am impressed that you could get his (her) picture. We quit feeding the birds each year when the garden gets planted. I guess we’re going by the theory that there’s enough wild food for the birds to eat this time of year. And it avoids sunflowers growing in the midst of the garden in odd places.

My youngest son used to keep pet mice and they are surprisingly dear little creatures with lots of personality. Though I could warm to mice, I don’t know if I could ever feel the same about rats.

Usually, animals with proportionately big eyes get more positive attention from humans. For this reason, baby animals are also deemed cuter than adults of the same species.
