More Friends!

This morning Dela and Corduroy were riveted in the kitchen window looking at what appeared to be the sky.

Upon closer inspection, they were looking at our next door neighbors' gutter.

There were two little heads poking out from the gutter looking down at our kitchen window.

After at first thinking they were rats, I realized that they were two baby squirrels (you can't see their tails in the photo, but we did see the fluffy little things when they were moving around), and they were just as interested in the kitties, as Dela and Corduroy were in them.

Turns out they were actually two of four babies living with their mother in a nest which is probably a collection of leaves in the gutter of our neighbors' house.
(If you click on the photos you can see them much larger)

We're surrounded by animals. Pretty awesome!!!

Great pictures!! Maybe they (the squirrels) need some friends from Maine. You are welcome to take some back with you.

Those are rats (with bushy tails),
don't be swayed.
