Our little friend ...

 

 

 

So Friday the kids and I were in the family room doing some reading, and this bird flew up to the window.  He has been here everyday since then.  He spent about 5 hours on Friday on the window.  He would fly away but come right back.  He was scared of us looking at him.  He pecked at the window.  He flew up the door window and back down.  He "cooed" at the window.  He is a beautiful bird, but I am afraid that he is quite stupid!  Molly was most concerned that he was hungry.  She convinced us to move the birdhouse down to the ground right by the door.  He was not interested in the food, but I am quite certain that he was thankful for the perch as a reprieve from the window sill.  He would sit on the birdhouse and then fly to the window.  When he got tired, he would go back to the birdhouse.  I didn't think he would come back the next day, but he has made appearance everyday at the window.  Some friends have tried to convince me that it him just fighting for "position" with his reflection ... but I am not so sure.

Oh well, at least there has been some interesting distraction around here the last couple of days!
