Backyard Critters

In the short time we have been in our new Massachusetts house, we have seen all sorts of wildlife in our backyard.  The beaver commonly swims in the creek around 7:30 each evening.

 Chipmunks run around the yard all day.

 We have seen all sorts of birds at our feeders, like the cardinal and grosbeak picture below.

 I just love this picture of a goldfinch.  It's like he's looking right at me.

 This little red squirrel is really cute.  It's smaller than a grey squirrel, but bigger than a chipmunk.  Oh, we have also seen a coyote trot through our backyard, but he moved too quickly for me to get a picture (yikes!).
