Birds

Update on the robin saga. I thought we had gotten rid of the nesting on the drain pipe until I
was in the back yard. The birds had found another drain pipe to use as a nesting place. Sorry,
birds, but the nest is just too close to the clothes line. I suppose it will be rebuilt.
Our golf course is the summer home of several geese. I have seen at least one batch of babies.
I think there is another nest so may have more. It is fun to watch how they interact with one
another. They will chase each other away from what I assume is the territory they have claimed.
The gander will sit close by guarding the nesting mama. He will have a turn at sitting on the
nest while mama gets a break. One nest was where we could see it real well. One day the goose
was using her beak to turn the eggs. Instinct is great. These birds don't realize how much danger they are in when the balls are flying in their direction. I don't think any have been
killed by a flying golf ball, but the season is only just begun. There is a local rule at our course/
you get a free drop if you ball lands in goose poop.
