Lately, we have seen black birds outside flying around. Whenever we go outside, there they are waiting for us. When we go to get the mail, mow the lawn, take out garbage, or just play, they fly above us and swoop down trying to get us. They have a nest across the street that they are protecting. They fly between their nest and about 2 other trees and on top of our house. It is quite entertaining. We even had a sales guy come over the other day. Jarel went to answer the door and the guy wasn't there, so Jarel stepped out to see who it was that knocked. He saw the sales guy running back and forth across the street with the blackbirds chasing him. The guy yelling, "they are going to eat me." Jarel couldn't stop laughing. So, we will keep those little birds around if it means they will get rid of sales guys for us!!!

One of the 3 blackbirds that are always outside watching our every move.

What is up with the birds? Seriously I used to LAUGH at Sheri because she said they would fly after her when she runs in the morning, but I was by my garage the other day and one swooped my head scared me to death!! We have one that sits on the perch of our house and he is always screaming something at me while I am trimming my roses. Evan Neff named him "Guardey" Oh well if the keep the solicitors away we should want to keep them around right?
