Out like a lamb?

Everyone is anxious to kiss this winter crap goodbye. Time killing will be a lot more enjoyable when you can go outside and bond with the wild life and foliage. (we have lots of trees and animals). In preparation for the seasonal change I have placed my fake two foot owl (know as a 'scare owl') in a strategic location near our kitchen window to put fear in the hearts and miniature minds of the robin(s) that fly into the window's reflection. This lasts for at least a month in early spring and wakes us up at 6 am everyday. The birdbrain thinks its reflection is another robin - this as per the internet. So I guess the bird wants to either attack or mate. In either case it leaves the large picture window looking like the bottom of a monkey cage. We will see now if the owl will earn his keep (the head spins with the wind - sure to confuse your average robin)..

I thought maybe the owl placement in mid-March was premature but NO.. Today on March 13th with the temperature at a comfy 24 degrees I killed my first Yellowjacket wasp (or bee or whatever the hell those things are) buzzing in the kitchen. It was huge and loud..WHERE did it spend the winter???? Maybe inside the 'scare owl'????
