birds in a basket
February 17, 2005
Last spring, there was a surprise in one of the baskets hanging from a garage beam. I thought the birds flying in and out of the cracks above the door were after the many spiders. After a few days, they quit shrieking at me when I went to the mail slot. Later, bits of straw sticking out of the bottom of the basket led to the discovery. At first, it seemed to be the body of a fairly large rodent. Then an eye opened. Then another. Before rushing them back to their site, five pairs of curious eyes were counted. Most can be seen in this picture.
