Maren vs. Sparrow

Well, I don't really know what kind of bird it was, but here's the story. I kinda wish it had been documented on video. Thursday morning I was getting ready to meet Candice at the mall and we had just opened the back door to leave when this bird flew into the house. I didn't see exactly where it flew to, so I started looking around and heard it fluttering by the front door. So I opened the front door thinking it would just fly out, but instead, it flew right by my face and headed in the opposite direction. By this time I was having visions of this bird pecking my eyes out and every time it moved I would scream at the top of my lungs (Candice can attest to that- I was on the phone with her). Of course Derek and my parents were out of town and after 4 years of living in this house I still don't know any of my neighbors, so I had to deal with it myself (Although Carter was nice enough to offer to drive home from ASU to help me). The bird finally landed on this window ledge above the entertainment center, but it was pretty high up so I got the pool net and tried to scoop the bird into it. After about a 20 minute standoff, the bird decided to hop onto the edge of the net, and I carefully lowered it down and out the door, and it flew away. It was quite eventful, to say the least. I was only an hour late meeting Candice and later that day I saw Clara outside with the pool net trying to catch birds. She's still talking about it.
