Bird's Nest

I've battled the darned sparrows all summer long trying to deter them from laying eggs on the balcony.  As they would begin building a nest, I'd dismantle it and actually thought I was winning.  I thought that, without a nice big nest in a planter, the sparrows would build one somewhere else to lay their eggs.  No.  They laid the eggs on a pretty barren floor of my magnificent geranium so now the geranium is lost.  I can't water it because of the eggs.

If anything, this epic battle with the tiny sparrows has taught me that nature will always win out.
