Thought it was a few leaves.......or possibly a mouse.......but as I tapped it out it winged up. Did think to first go outside, but when the wings came out we both scrammed in opposite directions.

Then it took some boot-shaking to get him out of there. Weird enough, but he did then fly up and out. Now wondering about residual spit that could be in boot so they are off-my-feet for a good while.
