He flew in with a beak filled with building materials, landing on our back deck banister. L saw him first.
“Tata! Look! A bird!”
We’ll have to begin playing “I spy” soon.
The bird sat for a while on the railing, then flew into one of the juniper trees in our backyard. The ones which I’ll drastically cut back at some point this spring, thus disturbing the bird, possibly spoiling a nest (though I’ll do my best not to).
If only I could have reasoned with him: demolition work ahead. Best build elsewhere.
