Yikes, a squirrel
June 15, 2007
The real estate market for humans may be slow in North Jersey. But for the feathered or the furry, it still appears to be quite active.
Just a couple of days after I cleaned out the box and installed wood chips, we had a squirrel snooping around.
He went in and out of the box several times before moving on -- not moving in.
Squirrels and screech owls aren't a good mix. I was glad the squirrel didn't show up at the box until this week.
Two years ago, a squirrel had babies in an owlbox on the same tree over the summer, when the screech owls had vacated it.
Check the two short videos of the squirrel checking out his potential "digs."
