Milton is a lover of Nature. He has labored for years to attract
birds to his home so he could share his experiences with Calvin
Finch on the KLUP Garden Show. It seems as if Milton didn't
have bad luck---he would have no luck at all. His description
of his first birding "success" indicates that his
first success had a foul ending: "I got out of my car
today and heard what sounded like rain hitting the ground.
I looked up in the sky (which I later realized was not the
smartest thing I had ever done!!) and noticed there wasn't
a cloud to be seen. THEN as my vision blurred by an ocular
excrement direct hit, I remembered the stupid waxwings. Yep,
I was hit three more times before I got to the house. I swear
it sounded like rain hitting the ground and that bird manure
must be acidic because it burned like the Devil!!!! Here's
a picture of just a couple of the little guys--cute but DEADLY. |
