at the end of november i put up a little fake christmas tree and a snowman on the front porch near the front door. the tree has little white fairy lights and is on a timer so it lights up at dusk and stays on till midnite.
about a day after i put it out, i went out at night to replace some lights that had gone out. as i opened the door to step out onto the porch, a little bird was startled out of the tree and flew over to the ash tree on the tree lawn. i was startled too! i figured it had come to roost in my little tree for the comfort of the warmth given off by the lights. the same thing happened later that evening when i let the dog out. after he was back in i played spy, looking out through the glass of the door into the dark. sure enough, after a few minutes the little bird came back and resettled himself near the top of the tree.
he has been there every nite without fail. we are no longer using the front door after dark for any reason whatsoever!! i want my advent bird to stay warm while he keeps his vigil.....
