Birds and Beasties

ollie... "Da biped built a wall on our front porch and then hung a shelf on it. Every spring a bird called a "fly catcher" builds a nest in da blue pitcher. If you look closely you can see twigs sticking out of da biped's classy looking pitcher.

There's actually three fly catcher couples that nest on our porch. They're quite friendly and not afraid of grandma or da biped."



heesh....This is our squirrel's nest. Its very well built and each year it gets a little bit bigger. Grandma says dat da squirrel must be related to da biped because her room looks just as discombobulated as dat nest.

That is cool that you gots fly catchers. Do they earn their living keeping flys off the porch? We never seen a nest like that squirrel nest!

Uncle Bill says that the cute birdies are fly catchers. We're not really positive that he's right since we've never seen them catch a fly. They do bring bugs back, right past our window to their nest.

That is exciting to have those nests to watch.

How fun! Flycatchers are good to have around in the summer to eat the skeeters and stuff. They sure have a fancy house. My mom says that the English Major's room looks JUST LIKE THAT-in spite of all her training.
