My daddy always told me if I wanted to catch a bird, to go out and sprinkle salt on it’s tail. I’d hate to say how many times us kiddos tried that before it soaked in that he was really pulling our legs!
In case you’re wondering, the point is that if you can get that close to a bird then you should be able to catch it.
Wonder if that same thing works with water???
Today while watering my front porch flower boxes, I dumped water on a wren and her nest of four eggs!!!
(I don’t know who was the most surprised… me or the wren!!)
I have no idea how she was able to hide and build that nest, and lay all those eggs without me knowing she was doing it.
The planter box is really crowded and over grown, and that nest was practically invisible.
Another one for “Truth is stranger than fiction”!
