It was a <strong>house<\/strong> wren and it flew over to a <strong>tree<\/strong> about 30 ft. away and just waited&nbsp; most times\u2026 today it was back at the jeep before I had even gotten it fully turned off and I was not even out yet\u2026 I sat and watched and it disappeared under the jeep\u2026 I got my stuff out and took most of it to the <strong>house<\/strong>.&nbsp; I had picked up \u2026. a wren <strong>house<\/strong>\u2026 since I figured they needed something other than my jeep to nest in.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Later when the wife got <strong>home<\/strong> I told here to come out and see if we could see the wren attacking my jeep\u2026 sure enough it <strong>fly<\/strong> out but this <strong>time<\/strong> we had a better idea where\u2026 I have not confirmed but think it has a next in the <strong>tube<\/strong> that ties the frame together behind the front bumper\u2026 I will leave it at that and she will just have to <strong>make<\/strong> do with it being gone for extended periods\u2026 hopefully if they are in there they will be out in a couple of weeks and I will give it a good flush out as you can\u2019t really see down that <strong>tube<\/strong> due to the bumper curling around it\u2026 oh well.&nbsp;&nbsp; I hung up the new wren <strong>house<\/strong> but <strong>figure<\/strong> it is a <strong>bit<\/strong> late now for this years nesting\u2026 but we are prepared for next year.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I have been nice to <strong>one<\/strong> <strong>set<\/strong> of <strong>birds<\/strong> I am being mean to some others\u2026 I <strong>set<\/strong> the \u201csparrow trap\u201d again as they are taking over the martin houses and every <strong>thing<\/strong> else that they can nest in\u2026 they attacked the blue bird nest on the west side of the shop back early <strong>last<\/strong> month and I found <strong>one<\/strong> dead baby blue in that nest\u2026 I assume it was sparrow as that is about the only other bird that will try to take over a blue bird box\u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/ishmaels.net\/blog\/?p=508\">I have written on that before here in good and bad birds<\/a>.&nbsp; I did a follow up on it in the <a href=\"http:\/\/ishmaels.net\/blog\/?p=940\">trap revisited<\/a>.&nbsp; I now have two in the trap and leaving them for a few days a \u201cbait\u201d for more of those pesky sparrows\u2026 I also saw that we had no martins in <strong>one<\/strong> of the martin houses and I dumped it out\u2026 5 young sparrows met the end before they could be nest robbers\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>While I was getting the wren <strong>house<\/strong> I also picked up some pots to split out <strong>one<\/strong> of Mom\u2019s favorite plants that <strong>Dad<\/strong> had kept for the <strong>last<\/strong> 10 years and every so many years he had to split it out as it soon over flowed the pot it was in\u2026 Mom had gotten an Aloe Vera plant a long <strong>time<\/strong> ago ( maybe 40 years ago) and this <strong>thing<\/strong> had sent off little plants for a really long <strong>time<\/strong>\u2026 actually I got some of them about 20 years ago but in <strong>one<\/strong> of my moved they got too cold and didn\u2019t <strong>make<\/strong> it to the next move\u2026 but now it was <strong>time<\/strong> to spilt that <strong>thing<\/strong> up since I inherited it <strong>last<\/strong> year when we moved <strong>Dad<\/strong> to his apartment.&nbsp; I now have 5 pots with Aloe Vera in them and hope most live as I am <strong>going<\/strong> to share it around the family again\u2026 tomorrow I will repot the \u201cairplane\u201d plant that I also inherited.&nbsp; It needs a better pot or something and probably needs more <strong>sun<\/strong> than it get in the bedroom <strong>window<\/strong>\u2026 it may also need less water than I give it so I got some \u201cself-watering\u201d pots that will feed form the bottom.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>After all that excitement I finished up the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>green chili<\/strong> and we had supper\u2026 bean burritos smothered in green chili\u2026 damn good\u2026 but my kids probably don\u2019t like it cause they left before we started dishing it up\u2026 too bad..or too good?&nbsp; better than the chili paste they <strong>make<\/strong> or the over doctored stir fry\u2026 each to their own taste, but I can\u2019t handle the over peppered or soy sauced stuff anymore\u2026 mind you I like a little spice and a little flavor but I don\u2019t want spice to be the only flavor\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>After supper I sat out on the back deck for a while as the temp was great.&nbsp; The mocking bird was giving it fits\u2026 then \u201cWHAP\u201d\u2026 I looked over and the mocking bird, probably <strong>one<\/strong> of the young ones, flew right into the shop <strong>window<\/strong>\u2026 I didn\u2019t have the camera and before I could <strong>figure<\/strong> it was alive or dead it started shaking it\u2019s head and pretty soon was off to the <strong>tree<\/strong>, so no real harm done\u2026 it was quiet for about 20 minutes after that then he cranked it up again\u2026 I guess they don\u2019t have long hang-overs?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As the <strong>sun<\/strong> went down it got too cool for the shorts I had on so I came in and finished up my few remaining items to get ready for bed\u2026 another great <strong>day<\/strong>\u2026 just wish the weather and temp would be like this more often\u2026
