Default Unannounced Friends Visit this am

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.

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
