Flycatcher



Luke catches flies for the baby chicks. The flies get caught inside the screened cabana at the pond making a perfect holding pen for the pests. I laughed until I saw him let the flies loose in the chick box. The tiny birds gobbled them up. This morning I saw one of the chicks chase a fly on the wing around the box. Yum, Yum. Good protein for them and fewer flies in Maggie's coffee cup. Luke is still bringing eggs in from the barn to hatch in the bathroom. They will be hatching after the kids are gone. Today is their last day. I better start collecting all the clothes and little knick knacks. Where did the month go? BOO HOO!!
