This is the type of view I was enjoying back at the house after dropping her off at the airport at 6pm. I had the kitchen lights on as I was puttering around and I notice Sophie dancing around looking at the ceiling.
Oh, did I mention that I had the door to the deck open enjoying the cool morning? It's an important thing to note because what Sophie is looking at is a Purple Martin that apparently "flew to the light." Yes, it was making laps around the living room.
Good thing Maryanne "I'm Afraid of Birds" Johnston was gone! Well, if the light got him in, maybe it will get him out...so, all inside lights off, deck lights on and all windows and doors open. It only took about four more laps chasing him around the living room with a dish towel before Marting found his way out.
And yes, it appears I avoided bird poop!

I didn't know Maryanne was afraid of birds! I hate em - all that fluttering around my head? Don't think so!!
We had one get in our house on 58th. It was calmly perched on the shelf along with all of Sarah's other stuffed animals.
We opened all the windows in her room, closed her door, and left the house! Sarah still laughs when she thinks of how much I freaked out!
That's too funny! I think that you are a very lucky man that the bird didn't poop on the new rug, new furniture, new lamps, or anything else that you've paid money for recently.
Good laugh to start the day.
