I had some excitement last evening! I watched as the mother squirrel moved three of her babies to a new nest! I'm glad they will be in a better place. I was always so worried about that one. I won't be able to view the babies when they get bigger though because the tree is back further and when the leaves come out my view will be blocked. And I've seen a lot of squirrel activity in the back woods. I think those babies are older and the mom is teaching them to climb and jump right now. I also watched the mommy fox go back to a certain spot and I think that might be where the den is. Too bad everything will be covered soon if foliage. I won't be able to observe the little ones playing outside the den. But I will see them in the beginning of June when they venture out farther and come to visit me.
So that was a nice surprise for me and thrilling to see that mom carrying her babies. If you want to see a video of her go to my Photography blog and view it. It's also on Youtube and I will be adding a few more videos to Youtube soon.
Have a nice Easter everyone. I'm not doing anything. Staying home as usual. I don't expect any company either unless my daughter happens to call and want to stop by but she usually goes to her sister's for dinner on Easter. Her father's side of the family all gather there every year. It's good for the kids.
I'm disappointed though. This morning the sun was shining and it was a beautiful couple hours. Now it's all cloudy again. Oh well. Nothing we can do about it. Take care.

How exciting to be able to watch the squirrels and the fox! We have fox but not here in the neighborhood. I have seen them just about a block from me where it is more unpopulated. A friend knows where the den is located but I haven't been there. Have a great day...well, rest of the day anway! Hugs, Karen
Let me add a ps. here....lol. I love your header. Great photo!
