I’m delighted to finally have bluebirds visiting our yard. Are those the Stellar Jays you have in your area? The squirrel was multi-tasking–soaking up the sunshine and trying to catch a few winks. I wondered if he’d fall asleep and slide on off.
The roof shingles probably warmed his belly while the sun warmed his back. The bluebird was waiting in line for its turn at the feeder–making it a prime candidate for a photo op!
I can honestly say that I’ve never seen a squirrel do that, but I did catch one hanging upside down on my feeder this week, scattering the seeds all over the place. Beautiful blue bird!
That’s one thing about squirrels, you never know what they’re going to do. One summer, I thought a squirrel must have had a heatstroke, he was sprawled on the concrete patio. Apparently, it felt cool on his tummy. They work really hard to get to the seed, and they never give up!
That’s a rather precarious position for napping, I think. The eastern bluebird and the blue jays in the east are so much more colorful than our western versions. Lovely photo.
Thanks! I love catching moments like that (the squirrel). Unfortunately, I can’t stand at the kitchen window all day–who knows what antics I miss out on!
What a cute shot of the squirrel. The bluebird reminds me of Iowa since I used to see them when I lived there. We don’t see them up here though. I missed commenting last week and almost missed posting, so I’m trying to catch up this week before everyone links up!
Thanks! I did the same thing–trying to read last week’s posts. I posted the Yellow-rumped Warbler, Tuesday. He’s molting into his breeding colors, so I suspect his days here are dwindling away.
That Eastern Bluebird is a pretty bird, Patti. I am used to seeing the all blue Blue Jays. What in the world was the rat doing sleeping up there?

Squirrels are funny animals. You should have gotten a photo of the patio sprawl. I can see how that would be a good place in the hot of the summer.

I wondered if he’d slide off the roof if he fell asleep, but he didn’t. Must have attached with velcro!

Thanks, Carol. I didn’t know how he held himself on the roof, thinking if he fell asleep he’d slide right off.
