Many of you know that we referr to my dad as the bird man! He has this "talent" of bird whispering, matter of fact it seems that every creature on earth is naturally drawn to him but he has a special knack with birds. Whenever us kids wanna know where dad is as it we inevitably can peer out the window and catch him out side either stocking up the bird feeders, searching through trees for the newest bird nest, or testing the temperature of his heated bird bath, with a string of grandchildren following behind! He has the most fascinating bird stories, but this one by far tops them off. Forgive me cause I didn't hear this story straight from the source so it could be butchered, but it's to great not to be shared. From what I hear Dad was asleep the other night and awakened by a noise. He opens his eyes to see a wild bird perched on his knee. So Dad, who hates being awakened, goes down stairs grabs a net and pushes the bird into the closet to catch him. Sure enough he caught that thing in the net, from what I hear he was a little nervous he hurt it but I have seen my dad maneuver wild birds before and those delicate hands I know couldn't of fazed that bird! I thought that kind of stuff only happened to Snow White or possibly Cinderella, but boy was I wrong. I love you Dad your the best!

Gotta love Dad! Good story. I'd heard about the bird in the room, but didn't get the catching story. Maybe Cooper was screaming during that part!
Tell Dan, nice job on the fields! Wow! He's an overachiever. 17 credits and 2 intramural sports?! That'll keep you busy.
oh deano...what a riot. I just love that guy, i love the fact that he was scared or startled (until he thought "hmmm maybe it's a bat").
Hey Kristi,
I miss those intramural sports! How fun to go watch your hubby!
I am just glad it happened to your dad and not me!
Dad does love his birds-just got a new camera with a zoom lens to get better photos of the birds eating from the feeder.
