We've tried unsuccessfully all summer to trap the snapping turtle who is devouring every scrap of protein in the pond. We were ready to turn in our trapper's license when we noticed a disturbance on the deck where Kathleen offers suet in a wire suet holder to her feathered friends. It's a popular spot. The cake was gone when we looked and a persistent juvenile sparrow had caught himself in the wire and got stuck in the cage and couldn't back out.
Kathleen carefully extricated the little birdie and when it was freed it flew away quickly so we knew it was okay.
