Squirrels

Well this happened....

So, I've been careful to evict any squirrels that tried to nap in my owl house so it is available for owls. But during lunch today, there were 2 hours that I was not paying attention. A mother squirrel managed to bring leaves in and make a nest, then move two babies into it. Not newborn but still very young. This video confirmed the two babies. I guess there is time to let them get old enough to be out of the nest with her before cleaning it out again. Just need it in owl shape by the month of October.
