Circle of life
Two quick events this morning: a black-capped chickadee swooped across the yard and lit on the low branch facing the birdhouse. It hopped around a bit on the branch, checking the surroundings. And then it flew directly to the birdhouse and entered it.
The same birdhouse that was torn off its post a few days before. The same birdhouse that housed a nesting chickadee. Now is a home again for a new effort.
Meanwhile, across the yard a streak of red fur flashed by. The fur skittered about the yard as if it were on a hot skillet. As I took the photo of the birdhouse, the fur raced up a tree to catch a look at what I was doing.

A new visitor: a red squirrel. I usually have big, fat gray squirrels and occasionally a black squirrel in the yard. But this one was new.

The birdhouse is cool attracting new birds for you after its destruction off the post.
Greets to the webmaster of this wonderful site! Keep up the good work. Thanks.
