The sun fought its way through the dense fog in the Naugatuck River Valley. With the rays dancing in that haze, it was a beautiful sight in our backyard this morning.

Naugatuck River Valley Backyard Wildlife In January 2022 (1)
Yay! Today, I had quite a few visitors coming to the bird feeders. There were a lot more birds than the ones in the pictures: Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, and Dark-eyed Juncos. However, I’ve got some decent shots of House Finches, Tufted Titmice, a male Red-bellied Woodpecker, a Downy Woodpecker, and a White-breasted Nuthatch.

It was quite foggy until the rain arrived around noon. The weather(wo)man talked about severe storms. But we didn’t see much of it here in Connecticut. The storm line was further west from us, in Pennsylvania and New York State. Either way, we stay home and snuggle with our pets until the rain is over.

This afternoon, I watched Momma Squirrel having an adventure with her two pups. The weather was sunny and warm enough to hop around in the trees. Since most of the leaves dropped to the ground, Momma Squirrel had a better eye on her offspring. She made sure, they were all safe on their playground.
Later on, I went over to my neighbors’ for a little chat, while my dinner was simmering on the stove. Now, that it gets colder, he provides the birds and critters some sunflower seeds. I haven’t put mine out, yet. It is still too warm. And Bruno, the Bear, might roam around in our neighborhood. Probably in another week or two, I’ll be more comfortable to add a bird feeder to my yard. For right now, I do some birdwatching in my neighbor’s yard.
