Two days after Obelisk went AWOL, I heard EE,EE and I was like "ok that's a hawk...well I went out a couple of hours later and I had some feathers in the yard. ok that means that dinner wasn't from my yard. I look next door and it's like a pillow factory explosion...they're a nice couple with a year old daughter...I didn't want to have them have to explain this to her. So I went over and picked up as many feathers as I could...I looked where alot of the feathers were and there was a very surprised looking pigeon looking up at me...Sort of like, Have you seen the rest of me? So that went into the bag too...
Now this past week, there's been a robin making a nest in the maple sapling outside my dining room window...she was sitting yesterday all day, but disappearing around dusk. I figured that maybe it was poop and eat time and she'd be back. Well she wasn't there this morning, nor this afternoon...I was afraid that I disturbed her and she took off. Well, I wish that was the case, because I found the whole top of the nest on the ground and the remains of 2 lovely blue eggs broken and eaten. I feel really bad, but I would've felt worse if she had been setting longer and there were chicks. DH thinks it was a squirrel and seeing as how I saw one eat a baby sparrow, it wouldn't surprise me...but what else could've done it? Any other ideas?
