HE PROMISED WEIRD OBSERVATIONS BUT DELIVERS IT RAW
A robin has been trying to build a nest on top of the Warrior Monk's garage light. Every time he (the Monk) notices it, he knocks it down.
You'd think that would be the end of the nest building attempt but no, the robin is determined and takes advantage of the fact the Monk is gone all day at work. When the Monk returns home there's a new nest perched on the light. He knocks it down again. Rinse. Repeat.
When I found out about this Sisyphean battle, my maternal heart naturally went out to the mama bird. She's just trying to build a little nest I said.
Not allowed, he said. It'll give the squirrels ideas.
