After the ladies did a wonderful job of cleaning our deck (see previous post), our sliding glass doors were spotless. A few days later, I started seeing streaks at about head height. They look very much like bug splatters on a car windshield.
Today, as I was getting ready for work, I finally figured out what those spots were. It is very possible that they are bug splatters, put there by a very stupid robin. I had leaned over to put something in my work bag, and I heard a THUMP... THUMP... Low and behold, when I looked at the window, there was a robin with a bit of nesting material in his mouth trying to fly through the glass.
I choose to believe that this same robin has tried to fly though our window with a tasty morsel in his mouth, only to find that it splatters on impact. It makes my day a bit better to try to imagine a very confused robin wondering why he can't fly into a particular space, and in addition to that, why his meal suddenly disappeared. That might make me mean, but it's funny!
