Cleaning out the Birdhouses...

Today, Joseph and I went about the task of cleaning out the birdhouses around the property. We noticed that the wren house had not been used... maybe this year. We then moved on to another house on a pine tree. I Had Joseph tap on the side of the house to make sure that no birds (or critters) were inside... since i had seen activity around this birdhouse. So Joseph tapped and decided that the house was empty. He proceeded to undo the screw that holds the side panel on the house. This house has a nice hinge so that you undo the screw and lift the side panel for easy cleaning. So joseph lifted the side panel and the house was packed with debris... he then dicded to use the screw driver to dig some of the debris out of the house. That was when the little red squirrel came out of the front hole and frantically made its way up the tree. I supect that he was none to happy to be "goosed" with a screw driver!
