Walking across our parking lot, down the sidewalk and into the building has been an adventure for the past week or so. At first I wasn't sure what was happening, but every time Fenway and I took this back door route to our building I had a beautiful red wing black bird screaming at me. And Dave said one afternoon while he was out working on the RV the bird kept hovering and screaming at him too. Then we happened to be looking out the window and saw movement from the last bush along the side walk....ah hah. A female blackbird going in and out of the bush.....mystery solved. We were too close to Mr. Blackbird's family nest.
So if I want to go that way I wear a hat or my hood ....... and make Fenway walk
fast. I'm pretty sure Fen hears the commotion, but he doesn't seem to look up.
And once we get past the dad flies down to check on the nest....counting heads I guess.
All comfortable and accounted for. I'm not sure how long it will be until these three fly the nest, but maybe we'll walk the long way around the building and go in the front door. I got whacked on the head in Bayview by a protective red wing.....ouch. I prefer to avoid a repeat.
