Crazy Backyard Entertainment

I'll admit that life has been crazy in this household, and there hasn't been much time for outdoor entertainment.  But today I had a real treat when I happened to look out the window.

The first thing that caught my eye was a bluebird checking out the bird feeder.  Before I knew it, there were half a dozen of the bright beautiful blue creatures fluttering around the trees, taking turns popping in and out of the birdhouses.  Look closely and you can see one on the house as well as one on the bottom limb of the tree.


Another decided to act as lookout from the familiar perch on my deck.


I missed the opportunity to capture a shot of the downy woodpecker who dared to pop his head into the box.  Let's just say that he didn't stick around long once he was spotted by the blue birds.


And, it was a complete surprise to see a Blue Jay bopping around, as I've not seen one in my backyard for years.  


He sure was a beauty!

Obviously, this rabbit spotted something of interest as I watched him pose in that position for quite awhile.



And, it appears that Sneaky Snacky Squirrel has a real Spring in his feet. 


All of this activity occurred in the span of about 10 minutes.  It came as a surprise, and, believe me, it was a welcome treat!

Something tells me that there might be some real excitement this winter!  

In the meantime, I have every intention of enjoying the months leading up to the cold.  Adventure awaits as you shall soon see!
