Our Watch Dogs

Earlier this spring, we were concerned about the Bluebirds returning to the house they claimed last year.  It looked like the swallows were trying to claim it and there are plenty other houses for them closer to the river. Little did we know how territorial the Bluebirds are; they didn't need our help at all.



The picture that I couldn't get was when the Bluebird was chasing the squirrel across the neighbor's yard.  Also, we discourage the squirrels from coming around the bird feeders.  This morning the squirrel tried climbing the Bluebirds' tree after I chased it way, but didn't stick around very long.  The birds had it running in circles around the tree - pretty funny to watch.

Doesn't take much to entertain us.
