Visitors

We had our first visitors to the house yesterday afternoon. I'm not going to lie, it was a little unnerving. Seriously. There quiet literally 30 blackbirds dotting our back yard yesterday just before supper. I guess there must have been something on the lawn that they really liked. They were very pretty, but to see that many black birds at once...was a little odd. It was also a bit Hitchcockian when a truck drove by and they all flew off at once int he same direction.
After the birds left, a big black squirrel decided to come by and inspect the area; see if there was anything left for a little rodentish critter like himself. Very friendly too. I went outside to take this picture and was probably only about 2 meters away from him. He really didn't care about me being there either. I just didn't want to get closer and potentially frighten the little guy.
