We are having a string of warmer and dry days this week. Just in time for a new deck (more on that later). I did a walk-about yesterday and noticed several blooms -
 |
Arctostaphylos 'Sunset' (Manzanita)
|
 |
| Galanthus nivalis (Snowdrops) |
 |
Hellebore 'Merlin'
|
And something not so pleasing - I discovered a birdhouse that was just put up last fall now looks like this! -
This has happened before so I wasn't completely surprised. I posted this photo to a local birding group and got a multitude of answers but most of them stated that it is likely a squirrel. That makes sense as we have a lot of them. Flickers and woodpeckers was also a common answer. That would be a possibility but I only see flickers and woodpeckers at our feeders periodically so I don't know. I was advised to attach a metal ring around the hole.
