The Bird Whisperer

Shortly after Lew arrived home from work yesterday, he received a call from Pastor David.

There was a bird flying around in the church building.

Off Lew went to the church, armed with the building key and a tennis racket (which had been useful in last summer's bat incident).

Lew's mission was successful on two counts: 1) the church was bird-free, and 2) the bird was flying freely outside. Lew was pleased that he didn't harm the bird; apparently he had formed a tight bond with it quite early during their adventure together.

Long story short: After several minutes of trying to coax the bird toward an open window, Lew got it to perch on the top of an eight-foot piece of molding. Then Lew walked slowly toward the open window while carrying the molding. The bird sat tight until it sensed the open air and freedom.

Good job, Sweetie! :)
