Nothing to chirp about...


This morning, Pamela and I noticed several birds were boldly hovering over our tomato plants. I couldn't believe it as I was earlier pointing out that the decoys were WORKING.
Upon closer investigation, we spotted a baby bird. Two robins and another bird were nearby, chirping and prodding the baby bird along. Pamela and I stepped aside and allowed the adult birds to prod the baby bird to safety.

It was really neat watching it hop, flap its wings, and make it safely across the yard onto a tree. Satisfied it wouldn't fly into the pool we left the birds alone.

I guess I won't place my fake owl on retirement after all.
