More Crabapple Fun...




The Cedar Waxwing birds have not been the only ones interested in the tiny crabapples on our trees. During the first blizzard of the season a couple of days ago, Dan photographed a very daring chipmunk who spent a delighted half-hour devouring the delicious fruit. These pictures speak for themselves--look closely at his very full cheeks, his tiny paws grasping the apples, the snow accumulating on his head and back, and his feet clinging tightly to the branches.
