Looked out the kitchen door and to my surprise a few feathered friends dropped by unannounced.

So nice of you to host them! They probably appreciated the safe, clean water on their travels. Now - to go find them appetizers ...

They are cute but you might want to shoo them away now - they can make a real mess of your pool. (I grew up on a lake, so ask me how I know.) And if you feed them - they will invite their friends. Also, the chlorine is not good for them. Don't forget it i getting towards that time of year when they are looking to make a nest. Again very cute - but very messy.

I don't want to sound mean but I had many a days scrubbing the dock with a heavy broom. Good luck!

Usually I would ONLY see pigeons when I lived in Orange County. Maybe it is just too cold where they are suppose to be and are enjoying the lovely weather we are having in So CA.

I hope you have a pooper scooper, ha ha. I used to have ducks, they sure are messy but fun.

After they left, I immediately went out ( followed by my 2 dogs) and inspected the yard and pool. No droppings found. I lucked out. I live between 2 lakes not sure why they decided to stop at my pool. Lol
