Currently fighting a minor #rodent infestation in my #garden. Some of them fall into the #trap alright. But others somehow manage to take the bait off without triggering the trap. Am I breeding a variety with advanced trap circumventing skills?

The cats were intently watching out the fire escape window. I didn't know why until I opened the window gate.

A tiny flying squirrel was sitting on the edge of a large planter saucer, chowing on the peanuts inside it.

Flying squirrels don't seem to be common in NYC. But maybe they are?

This is only my second time ever seeing one in my lifetime. The first time was when one was hanging onto a window, peering inside of my fourth floor apartment in Chicopee, MA. Here's a photo of that one, from October 1, 2008.

I'll check again tomorrow morning and I'll have my phone camera set on Night Sight so I'm ready to take a picture if it returns for a pre dawn snack.

Happy #smaugust!

Here are some small rodent dragons to celebrate the month :)

A Western Grey #Squirrel amidst dry grass and #Oregon Sunshine near the summit of Spencer's Butte, #Eugene. These guys are so used to humans they will brush up against you, sniffing you to see if you carry nuts or seeds. This common #Rodent does not seem to be affected by the #PoisonOak! #Hiking #Wildflower #Yarrow #OregonSunshine #Aster #Sumac

I spy a little guy...

Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:

• it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
• it's only available from Google's Play store
• it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
• it wants access to your ad ID

In short, this app is against the spirit of Mastodon and the Fediverse. There are plenty of Mastodon apps that respect you: @Tusky, Fedilab (@apps), @moshidon …

For absolutely no reason at all here are four squirrel pics from my archives: arctic ground squirrel, variegated squirrel, California ground squirrel, and eastern gray squirrel. #squirrel #sciuridae #rodent #mammal #nature #photography

remade the mouse joycons cause red = rage and blue = sad makes more sense #rodent
