Critters in our Yard

This squirrel, for some strange reason, actually bypassed our bird/ squirrel feeder and ran up into the oak tree.



You can see the young oak leaves starting to grow. However, the squirrel seems to be eating the flowers? Maybe someone knows if those dangling things are the blooming stage of an oak. We are only guessing.



As you can see, I am on the windowsill supervising all outdoor activity from my vantage point.
