Day Sixty: Closed for the Winter

This birdhouse outside my back door has been vacant for a while (probably due in part to its location which was chosen by me for reasons more aesthetic than ease-of-squirrel-access-related).

But this morning, with remnants of yesterday's snowfall still clinging to one side, this empty room seemed a little more vacant than usual.

Snow generally doesn't stay around too long after it falls in Lawrence, and as warmer days start springing up more frequently, I'm sure the birds (and the squirrels) will be out and about in no time exploring their dwelling options and finding new homes for the coming seasons.
