Some of you may know I recently started creating videos for my YouTube channel. If you read my last post, you’ll see a video I posted to my YouTube channel that unfortunately was pilfered by someone else and that someone else got way more likes than I did. Sigh.
This made me very sad and I made private most of my videos for about a week and a half. Today I decided that I would not only continue posting videos, but I would make public the videos that I had made private.
I really like to share my love of animals, and if someone steals my content to make it theirs, well, isn’t that flattery? I’m not making money off of my channel, and I’m not posting videos to do that. I want to spread a little silly joy.
For instance, today I chased down a honeybee. It was very cold this morning and was not very warm this afternoon, but I found the first honeybee of the season gathering pollen in the Hyacinth. Poor girl. But so it begins. Approximately eight months of me chasing after bees, butterflies, and any other flying creature, quite frankly. I got it on video and I posted it. I also posted a squirrel video because the squirrels are so silly and make me laugh every day.
Maybe other people need to laugh every day too.

Just took a look at a couple of your squirrel videos. One which I have seen before. But I like watching. I just wonder though, do you end up having to sweep up those shells from the nuts the squirrels discard?

Yes, although they do eat some of them. They need the hard shell to keep their teeth from growing into their mouths. Plus the Blue Jays, the grackles and the crows like the peanuts in the shell. Blue Jays and crows are corvids, and corvids are very smart. They weigh each peanut to see which one has the most peanuts inside and then they choose that one. I only toss out the shells to an area that I can sweep away. The peanut shells compost like any other organic material.

Yes. I forgot about the Blue Jays and crows weighing the nut to see which nut is the heaviest.

I also feed the tiny birds smaller seed. So I get a lot of juncos in the winter. I also have a few Cardinals, some mourning doves and an occasional mockingbird. I do not use a feeder because I have a Cooper’s Hawk who likes to come visit and eat my friends, if possible. I always chase him off. He gets very annoyed with me, but I don’t care.
