Wildlife Update

Well, we all should have know it wouldn't end with the deer scampering into the woods or the squirrel high tailing out my back door. The latest installment is a robin who is obviously suffering from some sort of mental illness. Have you ever heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome? I submit the following as back up for this statement.

This bird has discovered the window in our bathroom and for the past 4 days has repeatedly thrown himself at the glass ALL DAY LONG! You can imagine the fun this is for Jack. Fortunately we intend to remove the wallpaper in the bathroom- he has begun the scoring process on that wall as he makes vertical leaps towards the window in an attempt to catch the bird. Our only reprieve is a squirrel and a flock of wrens. The squirrel periodically naps in the holly tree outside the window and keeps the robin away and the wrens come to snack on the berries still growing there and apparently are some sort of threat to the red breasted one.

. . . . . .

Jack is apparently suffering from the even greater lack of attention he's receiving due to our newest addition. His latest tactic in trying to get our love is to steal our children's beds.

Jack, busted, hanging out in Miller's playplace

Now, he's been found in Wilson's sleeping bag with Lion, Rocko, and Silky Soft

(the white fuzzy thing at the bottom of the photo is HIS BED!!)
