Finally ... caught a bird "red-handed!"

Looks like he/she wants to move in!
I make fleece-filled grapevine balls with some of my alpaca fleeces. These colorful grapevine balls look lovely hanging in the garden (or in the house ... sometimes I don't want to put them outside!)
An added bonus for those who love birds is that birds love to snitch fleece to use in their nests. For quite a while, my grapevine ball has looked like it may have had some "visitors," but I was never able to catch the elusive bird(s) in action ... until now! Check out the pictures of my feathered friend in action.
