"Enough of this bowl...crockery be gone!"😆
Such dedication, you must be freezing with the window open - well done.
I do but it's worth it. 😊
@@Squirrels_at_the_window Keep the Faith, Satw.
Stay free. Rab 🐿 💚
I just adore watching your little squirrel family!😊🥰🥰 They're so lucky to have you. Thank you also for the info about how they survive snow and cold temperatures; I now feel a lot better knowing how well they've evolved and adapted.❤🐿❤
What a beautiful winter scene! These are the luckiest squirrels on the planet! You take such great care of them, and it's heartwarming to know they'll have an easier time getting through the winter because of you. Thanks so much for educating us about these animals as well! We are grateful to be enrolled in your Squirrel Academy! 😊❤🐿❤🐿❤🐿❤🐿❤🐿❤🐿❤🐿❤🐿😊
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊❤️
One of my black squirrels showed up this morning - I had his mixed assured extra fancy unsalted variety waiting for him. Thank you for all that you do 🤗 Happy New Year to you and to everyone here. Gosh you got a lot of snow, somehow it bypassed us this weekend. Loves from SE Michigan - All the cute paw prints, OMG, I love it
Thank you for your kind words, Happy New Year to you too 😊❤️
Before I became interested in squirrels I used to think that black squirrels were common all over North America. Now I found out that they are not as common as I thought they were. We also have a lot of them here in Ontario, Canada. I love the little guys. I feed them walnuts in my backyard and local park. :)
@@Vogel- They are a "phase" because they come from imported black squirrels brought here as exotics about 100 years ago and the black gene is dominant over the fox coat. In Northern Lower most squirrels are black..
I know what went through Manny's mind:
"If I _take_ the magic bowl, I can have an endless supply of nuts at home, in my nest - let's do it!" 😄
Enterprising young thing.
Lovely to see, and stay warm Mrs. Squirrel.
Happy New Year 🎉
How do you keep the cat from jumping out the window?
❤
@@angel6154I've also wondered about that.
I’ve often thought that when I put out sunflower chips for my squirrels. They probably think the food spontaneously appears.
Manny knows his name, he came instantly when you said it, so I don't think he'll be long before he takes the food from your fingers.
Their footprints in the snow and the snowflakes in their whiskers are just adorable 🥰🥰. Thank you for being such a loving friend to these beautiful animals.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
Ahahaaaaa, that cute unnamed squirrel tried George's technique from the other day! 😄 Oh, wow! I didn't know those facts about squirrel physiology. Thank you for sharing those with us. I'm glad to know their paws won't get frostbite, walking on ice or snow. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your kind comment 😊❤️
I love squirrel tracks in the snow. On my work from home days I can keep the water from freezing. My sweeties are eating lots of walnuts. When I put out supper walnuts, I ring my cow bell so my sweeties know it's time to eat.
Lol Manny. He wanted all of the goodies for himself. They all look so healthy and beautiful. And a very special THANK YOU for explaining how they survive without hibernating. I learned something today. Squirrels really are special creatures. ❤❤❤❤
So nice to see Kiara watching the squirrels. She is so cute❤
All in all it seems to me that squirrels' bodies are better equipped for winter tuan ours 😂😂😂❤️
That is a lot of snow… It snowed on my part of the UK for the first time this winter today, but it was barely a dusting compared to you! Your regulars are so lucky to have you & your always open window of wonder! ❤️🐿
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful & informative snapshot of your squirrelly world. I hope you & Kiara were able to warm up after your visitors had their fill 🤗❤️🐿
We did, thank you for your lovely comment 😊❤️
Wow. So interesting! Love these little creatures! And that’s a LOT of snow!!!
You forget one thing, they also survive by kind people like you keeping them with supply of food.
I do enjoy not only giving out the food to the wintertime birds, but also to the squirrels.
4:55 such a wholesome sight!
it great how you care for these little creatures
I've left a bag of cotton balls out during the fall a few years ago. The birds and squirrels took them. They seem to know how to insulate their nests when they build. I didn't know this and just went on a hunch when I saw a squirrel with a small piece of trash paper in it's mouth going up a tree. Wild life is amazing how they just know how to use their environment.
Awwww❤
Manny said ima take the whole bowl 😂❤
I hope you and Kiara are able to stay warm too with the window open. Feet need warmth too, not just hearts. ❤
可愛い🥰
Precious little snow babies!
Great info about the squirrels. Manny being a brat today. 😅
3:38 expert toss
Delightful li'l scamps! 🥰🐿
Awww…I just loved this! So much fun watching the squirrels in the snow! Just wishing for some snow here in East Tennessee! Thank you!
I'm very glad 😊❤️
Didnt know squirrels had such amazing capabilities!
Awwh bless them! ALL thanks to Feeder Mom! 🙏💞👐💖💖🎶👍🌟😂Manny said too far n slippy to come to window ledge windowsill edge, he did a George! Manny, you are fed well enough for no injuries or hardship 😁⛄🌰❄⛄🎄🎊🔔⛄Enjoy happy snow play Ellie and youngsters who haven't seen ❄ snow yet! Thankyou for these great to hear Squirrel facts Ma'am, "they are warm"!👍💞👐💞
Thank you so much Natalie❤🙏🤗
I just wonder how many little white bowls there are under the AC unit!
😂🤣❤️🐿
Lol 😄 I get them back every time.
LOL! Think she picks it up. Maybe needs a Nut bag to hold them. :)

I know, but I couldn’t resist.
🤣😂😁😎
Wow really thick snow. Where I live rain and sun are the only 2 weathers. Squirrels are so fortunate that they wont go hungry in the bitter cold. Thanks dear, your kindness will be repaid in time. God Bless You, your family, all the furry creatures and all your subscribers and anyone viewing this. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
Thank you, God bless you and a Happy New Year to you too 😊❤️🙏
Ellie digging the snow with her bum in the air ❤️❤️❤️
Bless your ❤. Your such a kind, caring person. I also have several that visit my window.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
I would crochet them scarfs and hats.
I’m so envious of your snow! ❄️ I’m in VA and all we got was cold rain this past weekend. Your squirrel friends are adorable. I’ve been feeding mine extra nuts lately too, so they’ll be healthy and happy all winter. 🐿️ 🩶
They all look sleek and healthy. We’ve had a mild winter so far, so our squirrels are very chonky.
I’m surprised the squirrels aren’t scared off by the snowplow truck noise backing up. 😮
Thanks for sharing 😊👍🏼. You have such a beautiful view with all these cute squirrels near your window 🥰😊.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
God bless you for all you do for the squirrels and birds
Adorable ❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏🏻🌟🌷💚...
Thank you for bringing food and water to some of nature's wonderful creatures.
You are a good person.
The squirrels in my local park don't come out for a few days when we have snow I live in a ground floor flat with balcony I have a large plastic box water proof hole in it enough for them to fit threw I fill it up with nuts shelled and walnuts water bowl it's there for them if they know there's food in there for them they are welcome to it I Love squirrels cuties so adorable little animals 🐿️😍🔥👍
Thank you so much for showing us your squirrels in the snow and for providing information about how they survive very cold temperatures! I live in Hampton Roads, VA, and we got rain instead of snow. I can’t explain the pleasure i get from watching squirrels, and feeding them - but all Squirrel Moms understand! I’ve been feeding mine lots and lots of nuts, but they don’t have to search through the snow for them like yours. I must compliment you on your excellent aim in throwing that nut for Cutie.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
I didn't know that about squirrels. I'm going to the park later in the week and one of the Royal Palaces (local to me) where squirrels also live. The local supermarket had big bags of mixed nuts in their shells reduced to less than half price, so have been stocking up
God keeps your heart warm, so you can keep your extremities warm with a window open with snow everywhere. 🤯🥰 99% of what we got over the weekend already melted.
First George, now Manny. Amazon's gonna run out of white bowls soon. Kiara needs to have a talk with the crew. 😊
Thank you for caring, I love wildlife all animals.
Poor little guys, they need you more than ever. Hopefully you get a warm Spring this year. Thank you for feeding the squirrels.🐿️🙏💕
I've had couple visitors at our cabin daily. Have sunflower seeds on different part of the porch so the squirrels and the birds can all eat at the same time. -30C didn't keep my friends away. Just made sure there was plenty to eat.
I LOL when Manny took the whole bowl! Thank you for telling us about squirrels. I’ve learned so much. I won’t have to worry so much now about my squirrels in this cold weather. ❤. I put out lots of extra food for them. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind comment 😊❤️
So cute. And I love how you fed all 7, the birds and your pretty kitty cat hangs too! 😁🐾🐾❤
That cover picture (thumbnail pic) is so perfect. Looks like a painting. Thank you so much for your explanation of winter survival of these cute little guys. And your caring 💜
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
You are a lovely human being for caring for them. I enjoy these so much.
I'm very glad and thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
I guess Manny really wanted the plate. 😄
I always lay out extra when the snow comes. I"m delighted to know how they keep warm. And it's so nice when you say "Let's throw some food out"-makes us feel included, too.
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your kind gift 😊❤️
Such precious little critters.🤗
Was that Manny who tried to claim the nut bowl for himself? 😄 The survival instinct is strong with that one.👍🏻
You are very dedicated to your squirrels (and your viewers) to leave the window open in such cold weather.
We all appreciate it.❤
Thank you for the education about squirrel temperature regulation. Very interesting.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️ That was an unnamed squirrel who took the bowl.
Wonderful to see them all doing well. Thank you for all you do 💖🙏
Thank you for your kind comment 😊❤️
If squirrels played D&D they'd roll a 15 in every stat.
THIS IS SO WONDERFUL OF YOU TO HELP OUR LITTLE FURRY FRIENDS
Should give the little ones sweaters for the winter 😅
oh my haha! 2:05 All the risk none of the reward lol!
😄
Love!
The more I watch and learn about squirrels the more I become of the opinion that they are "superheroes" - and cute as well.
Looks like the squirrel was trying to use the plate as a carry out bag.
Thanks for the information, and I hope you had your winter woollies on for this one! 🐿️ 🎥🥶😊
I have had this pretty squirrel with white fur around its ears stop by my porch for peanuts for awhile now (at least two weeks). Yesterday, I finally got him or her to take a peanut from my hand. I felt so honored that it trusted me. There were other peanuts nearby but he or she willingly accepted the one I was holding. My daughter has named that squirrel White Cap bc we haven't seen any other squirrels with distinct ears.
❤❤❤❤
Maybe it’s a polar bear in a clever disguise 😂
I think they are trying to collect a whole set of those dishes. LOL
😄
2nd time I saw a squirrel attempt to take the dish! Naughty squirrels!
Love this channel, thank you for being such an awesome hooman.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
Awww 🥹 those adorable faces, and those cute little hands 🤗
I wonder if they tell each other about their cholesterol levels during the winter 😅
How lucky are they to have your help!🥰
Are you in the northeast U.S?
Yes
Mine are always extra hungry and eat so quickly in winter. I usually have a few battling hiccups as a result.
I had a minature plant saucer that I would serve special nuts or shelled, raw sunflower seeds. One day the dish vanished. I searched the beds and it was gone. I always pictured it gracing a squirrel table ala Beatrice Potter. ❤
I've been doing my part to keep my critter friends well fed 😊
I can't wait to greet my chipmunk buddies in the spring!
Thank you for this lovely vlog !
You have the most well behaved cat, I enjoy all of your vlogs, thanks
I'm very glad 😊❤️
Thanks for helping the squirrels 😊
cool video wish we were as adaptive to cold as our little friends.
Maybe in that rocky outcropping under the ledge you could build a warm shelter for the squirrels to stay out of the cold and snow with a front and rear entrance like a cat shelter.
Interesting to find out how a creature that small survives in such low temperatures.
I also feed the squirrels peanuts in shells in my backyard as well as birds (a mixture of various birdseeds etc.); when the squirrels run out of the nuts they switch to the birdseed I get them from BJs in nuts in large 5 lb bags & seeds in 40 lb bags.
1st. time I've seen the Winter, snowy season on the Channel. Very pretty. :)
You need to crochet little jackets for them! 🤣
INFINITAS GRACIAS POR CUIDAR PARTE DE LA MARAVILLOSA Y PERFECTA CREACIÓN💪👍👏🐿❤🐿❤🐿❤❄🌨❄🌨🙏🙋♀️SON SUPER PRECIOSAS👍🐈🥰😘
Thank you for your kind comment 😊❤️
Спасибо,спасибо,спасибо.!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Привет вашему коту.💁🖐
Thank you for them and I wish you an Happy New Year !
See you have some juncos too. I feed them as well as the local wildlife.
With the little plate 😂🤣
I got so excited to see your video and it was so nice to see everyone thank you for sharing all of your precious moments with us❤😊
I'm very glad and thank you for your kind comment 😊❤️
It’s very nice you spend the time to educate us and much more interesting to view. Thank you.
I enjoy your channel, nice camera work and close ups. They are cute critters, i have been feeding them non salted, peanuts (with shell), at our local park. Thanks for what you do.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
I am so happy that you provide for these darling squirrels. I always make sure to feed mine too. Thank you ❤🐿
how squirrels cope with the winter here they sneak into my house and eat the peanutbutter i leave them, and they drink the water i leave them.. 😂
I just put up a squirrel box today for my 2 fall babies. Supposed to be night temps below 0 next week. With the weird weather & all, they never learned how to build a next. Coco has always had a very thin tail. The 2 of them sit outside my window about 16 feet away in a leafless tree and shiver. 😢❤❤❤
Love the interesting facts about squirrels in the cold weather, their bodies are amazing! They definitely stay longer in this crappy weather to eat as much as they can instead of taking one nut and running off. We had a noreaster here, I do not like the snow and cold. 😩 After the storm was over, my bf put our little squirrel house back outside with nuts and they are still making the trip to come and eat. You have another bowl thief lol, I think you need a heavier bowl. 😂
They are beautiful on the snow.. Some of them are bad Manniered though... 😀 I was wondering whether warm water would do them good. And the answer was in the video. Today's is more a short documentary: so informative. Wear a toque and a scarf when at the window, Natalie. We don't want you to catch a cold. Thank you for the beautiful footage. 🙆💖
Thank you for your kind comment 😊❤️
😘
Excellent educational video!
Thank you 😊❤️
