Just one of the many beautiful Tree Swallows I saw yesterday, south of the city. This one flew to the bright blue nesting box with peeling paint and stayed in that position long enough for me to take several shots. Does anyone know if this is a female?

I spent about an hour or an hour and a half yesterday just watching this family of Ground Squirrels. There was no sign of my Great Horned Owl family in their grove of trees - more roadworks going on just a few feet away from their trees, which may have had some effect. So, my camera turned to these furry little creatures. This one was in the middle of making its tiny screeching sound and I found its expression rather amusing! Actually, I burst out laughing when I saw the photo on my computer!!!
