Today I noticed a junco was inside the fence trying to find a way = out. Soon several other juncos flew to the bushes near the birdbath and = seemed to be "talking" to the "trapped" bird. Finally one of them flew = into the enclosure, walked around the enclosure, then away -- leading = the formerly "trapped" junco out. I understand that junco's feed together. This is the first time I was = convinced they work together to solve a problem! **************** Jim Norton Bowie, MD jnorton123@earthlink.net=20 ************************** ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
