Field Mouse

The string of cold temperatures continues and strong winds make it feel even cooler.  What happened to spring?????  During a brief period of sunshine today I went out for a bit to see what was out.  As I was watching some wrens I kept hearing the rustle of leaves and expected to see either a Towhee or Brown Thrasher making the noise.

A little field mouse was searching among the leaves looking for something to eat.  With the hawks screeching overhead, I would have thought the little mouse would have been still.

Vet appointment tomorrow for annual vaccinations for the dog.  It is always quite an adventure getting her there and back home.  She loves to ride a little too much and once at the vet, it is dog gone wild time.  She has never met a stranger and thinks everyone is fair game for a visit.
