Day 239: Bird Eviction

This is a first, I evicted a bird.

One day I noticed our living room filled with weeds. The day before I had pulled a ton of weeds from along the back fence and it looked like those weeds.  I thought a little neighbor had been playing in the house.  I swept it up and dismissed it....until....it happened the next day. 

A few days later a crazed bird flew out a small window when I arrived.  It happened a few more times, each time startling me. Then, I saw him fly INTO the house.  He had found the teeniest perfect home up in our trusses. I pulled out his nest (tricky because of the angle), bid him farewell, and taped up the hole.  The foil tape is still there as a reminder of our former tenant.
