Unwelcome visitor

So moto was working on the boat yesterday and I was sitting there taking pictures when I noticed we had a visitor making himself at home http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/k...=6-9-08066.flv

You know what they say when you assume I just called him an unwelcome visitor because now I am going to have to move his home and he is going to lose all that hard work

I in fact care alot about all little critters and wildlife well w/ the exception of spiders and snakes they creep me out but I won't hurt them

I have one now that built a nest against my garage. I want to wait until it lays eggs and they hatch and fly away before I remove it. Anyone know about how long it takes from when they start building it to when it will be used and then empty?

Looks like a wren. They like to be left alone, once their nests are discovered they tend to move on. I had one nest in my window box by the back door. She left in a day or two of being discovered.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

I'm not sure I'd classifly spiders with snakes. Some spiders look harmless while others are simply evil. Some of the most evil looking spiders are reall cool.

Most snakes are pretty cute, they just want to slither around and eat stuff.

I love snakes...
