Secret Squirrel

It's that time of year again when the bluebirds appear. Last year we had a unexpected surprise in the nest box in the side yard. A family of flying squirrels had taken up residency there. We were as surprised as this little fellow when we went to see if there were bluebirds inside! He and his little brothers scampered up the post when we crossed his comfort zone.
I did see my first blue bird of the year on my way to work this morning. It was a beautiful color of blue with a slight flash of red underneath. I hope it doesn't find a "No Vacancy Sign" on our nest box this year!
