Here's an extra-long post, with a story and lots of pictures :)
Jason was mowing in the back yard and he saw the little guy below running along the back fence. By the time he got me out there to take a look, our little feathered friend was seeking refuge in the corner of our fence.
After the mower had left the backyard, I thought I'd go back and see if Mr. Bird came out of hiding. He had, and he decided to run along the side fence up to the corner of the yard where the A/C unit is. There is also a pile of rocks up by the front fence. He hopped up the mountain of limestone and grasped on to the bottom cross plank. (This one is not great quality and I had to do a lot of editing just to get it bright enough to see).
Then the little guy fell :( We could see him from the front yard, but I was worried he would get stuck out on the wrong side of the fence - the rocks were blocking his way back.
So, Jason stayed in the front and blocked him in, while I went to the back to move some rocks. Then, with a clear path, Jason shooed him into the backyard. And he made his way to the bed under the tree where his nest is :)
We let the dogs out later and went out to make sure they didn't get him. We didn't see our birdie, so I hope he is okay. Jason did see a rat. Not our friend Mortimer the Mouse, but a big stinkin' R-A-T. Yuck.
