I was at these feeders yesterday as well. Saw a good number of birds as well as the famous White Squirrel of Trinity-Bellwoods sitting on a branch right above the feeders.

Are the feeders all yours?

Oh, no, she told me not to put bleach in the washer! Well, at least he can hide in the snow from predators! :)

The first time I sighted a white squirrel was many years ago in Niagara Falls at Dufferin Islands - not an albino as he/she had dark eyes.

I have seen the white squirrels in Exeter. They can be found in the park at Main and Huron st. across the road from the Hospital.
Exeter residents are quite proud of their World famous white squirrels.
