I love to spread snacks out for the wildlife in the backyard. Of course, Chipper is among the first faces to pop up. He's made a habit of regularly checking in. I think he snaps out of hibernation the second he hears corn kernals hit the hard snow. But it's not just him. The chickadees flutter down and fill their cheeks. The voles pop up for an evening snack (of which I like to think Skipper is a part of). Wol visits sometimes to munch on the voles. Showshoe hares come around from time to time. And then there's the few stray fox who come for the rabbits. I'm just awaiting a lynx or better yet a wolverine. How much of a surprise would their arrival be?
