Spring House Cleaning

The warm weather this week prompted me to clean out the Blue Bird houses along the road to our cabin.



The bird houses were packed full of grass and sticks, but most of the bird houses were already occupied.



The bird houses were occupied with 2 to 3 Deer Mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) which weren't happy with the spring cleaning.



Deer mice are named so because of their color pattern resembling that of a deer. They have a brown body with a white underbelly and feet.
