My neighbor who lives in back of us, on the corner, has a camper which fits into the back of a pickup truck. It has sat in the same spot for over two years. This camper has a air vent on top which must have been open, for two small dark colored birds have called it home for at least two years.
This morning I watch the owner and a friend load the camper onto a truck, and drive away. A little latter I saw one of the birds come home. He would fly from the top of a small tree near by, to the top of a screened in trampoline, which was opposite of where the camper was. He even hovered over the area were the top of the camper would have been. I could almost read his thoughts, "I know it was here when I left! Where is it???"
He stayed for a while searching for his home, quite confused.
It is bitter cold outside today, I hope they finds shelter near by.

Oh, that is sad! Although, I'm not a crazy fan of birds. We had one that started a family in our vent last year - the vent over the stove? Well, Nathan tried to get them out alive, but they wouldn't. Then one died in there and stank up our entire house. Nathan covered the vent - again, so hopefully we won't have that problem again.
We also ended up with a bird in our basement last year, and we have no idea how that happened. Our basement has windows, but no outside entrance. And the windows were all closed. It's a mystery. But that bird survived. We were finally able to catch it, and Nathan set it free outside.
Ah, poor little bird.
that's terrible... poor little things. And even worse about the bird in April's vent!
Poor birdies! That must have been really confusing. I'm sure they'll find another home soon, but they might have to go into therapy to get over the shock of the sudden disappearance. :)
By the way, my three-year-old likes the cat on your sidebar.
