Oh, Mr. and Mrs. have a home all right. The porch roof, column ledge, and slats are a MESS.

Carol | 10410 comments Lol, we have pigeons under the solar panels. Thankfully not a lot. An owl lives in the neighbors tree , and down the road families of peregrines , egrets, and red hawks live. A few miles from here there are bald eagles. Not to mention rattlesnakes, mountain lions and coyotes.

I'm looking at it this way: The mess all leads to fewer flying insects (including Maine's state bird, the mosquito), as Phoebe's like fast food.

How's THAT for philosophical?

Carol | 10410 comments Love it , I can see them pulling up for a dozen mosquito burgers in their little cars, and disposing of all and I mean all litter.

Heh heh. I like that euphemism -- "litter."
