We were sitting here watching tv tonight and noticed a commotion upstairs in Sis's bedroom. She was down here and so were all the dog. It was too much noise to one cat so I went to check it out. The cat was up there but he was stalking something. I looked around and saw a Starling sitting on a picture frame! Sis insisted that it was the Starling we had raised from a baby a few years back but I don't believe it. Her bed room is under the eaves and connects with the attic of the porch. There is a small piece of board missing in her wall and you can look out and see inside the attic of the porch. I am assuming that is where it came from. We had to chase it down a while until it flew by Sis and she caught it in mid air. Of course she ask to keep it but that is out of the question. She took it outside and let it go. It is much happier now.

Why didn,t you send big brave daddy up those steep, narrow, dark stairs to check out the mysterious, unknown sounds, coming from high up under the eaves in the dard, cold roooooooooom?

Think I'd be afraid a snake would come slithering through that little hole into the bedroom and find him between the sheets at the foot of the bed.

There's something in our attic too. It wakes me up in the middle of the night. Sounds like galloping horses raceing around the track. We can't find anywhere where they might get in, be it ground squirrels,gray squirrels or whatever.

We have something in our attic too! Last summer Ed found a dry snake skin when he was doing some wiring up there. We don't hear it often, 3 or 4 times a year.And there is no entrance into the house, thank goodness.
