Yes, and for a time, they spilled over into my neighborhood of Ednor
Gardens, particularly in a very tall ornamental spruce of a neighbor two
doors down, drenching the parked cars below. My solution was to stride
out into the dark and loudly smack a rolled-up newspaper into the hand to
create quite a loud noise. No matter how dark, they would reluctantly 
fly off, after a few resounding whacks of the paper! Beats bullets.
