Winter Wonderland — Popular Christmas ornament “Redbird” has established a snow-time food table for yard squirrels.\u00a0 Redbird is also the founder of the Small Critter Food Bank (SCFB). On this snowy Friday morning he has set up his table of cheer beside the Upper Pond on the grounds of St. James Cottage.<\/p>\n
“I make a good living sitting on the tree every year.\u00a0 I just wanted to share, a little” said Redbird as he squared up some walnuts.<\/p>\n
The recent influx of high quality homemade pineapple jam at St. James has resulted in large donations of store bought jams and preserves at SCFB.\u00a0 Toast and walnuts are also on the table.<\/p>\n
Why squirrels?<\/p>\n
“My heritage\u00a0 is mostly grouse, duck and petroleum” explains Redbird, “but\u00a0 my mother had a small fur tuft and always bragged that it was grey squirrel.\u00a0 I enjoy the company of squirrels. I admire their work ethic.\u00a0 We’re trying to make a little holiday for them here.”<\/p>\n
If you’re making the dash, get there early.\u00a0 Scurries are expected when Tree Angel stops by to make a brief glitter this afternoon.<\/p>\n
