Every year, I hang a plant off the front of the porch and every year some newlywed bird couple uses it to raise a family. Yeah, I know I could just stop hanging the plant, but I'm also the woman who keeps three bird feeders in the yard and once sweated out four very long days on spring making sure a baby wild dove learned to fly. *shrug* So I like nature. Sue me. Last year, John took time lapse photos around the same time each day and we could document how the eggs were doing. Each time he went out, the parents would fly off and sit on the phone wires and yell at him. I think the results of his work made the verbal abuse worthwhile. |
