Makes you wonder if it interferes with their built-in compass.


There seems to be a general belief, around here (Belmont CA), that the changing
magnetic
fields from power lines retards children's development and lowers their
collective IQ. Has anyone noticed whether or not birds are acting
any more retarded than usual?

I trap Starlings and House Sparrows, enemies of my Purple Martins.
I caught two Cardinals in my ***unbaited*** bird trap. I moved
the trap to my enclosed front porch where the lattice work has
one inch square openings. I caught two House Wrens in my unbaited
trap sitting on my front porch inside the lattice work.

Just the ones we send to Sacramento and Washington. The rest
are OK.

So, that's their excuse.
