I'm not at all surprised it was published. <br /><br />When I was growing up in a NYC, my cat used to sneak out through windows and come back with live birds which she'd release, unharmed in the house. She acted like they were a gift for me. I had to catch and release them.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-30311963088739920992011-03-31T17:33:30.388-06:002011-03-31T17:33:30.388-06:00What a great story, TB--and nice photos, too!

I attempted to catch it, but finally my goddaughter took it home with her. It followed her dad around the house for a couple weeks, apparently imprinted on him. He let it out, it stayed the summer around their house, then left with the rest of them in the fall.<br />Nice post, Troutbirder.<br />CheersShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-21861313059721138602011-03-28T07:45:18.416-06:002011-03-28T07:45:18.416-06:00Great story and congrats for getting published!

When I went outside he flew right through an open garage door, and landed way up high on some lumber. It was my husband to the rescue (I don't do heights). He finally caught him and we turned him loose. I had trouble figuring out what he was as well. I had never seen one before.Montanagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428565909247665015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-18866956522184479372011-03-28T07:20:39.528-06:002011-03-28T07:20:39.528-06:00A very nice story, nice to get it published.
