Splat, the neighborhood squirrel

He's a little hard to see, but if you look beyond the blurry line bisecting the picture, you will see Splat the squirrel hangin' at his favorite place - the top of the Owl House. Splat got his name because when he relaxes on his perch he looks a lot like road kill. Some of you will remember the story of Splat the Cat that gained fame here in Austin a few years ago - but I digress.

Look very closely and you can see Splat's beady little eye. Most of the time when we see him in this position he has his eyes closed, squirrel-napping, as it were.

Between the woodpecker and Splat it's no wonder the owl moved out.
