Oddest thing I ever saw while casting.
I was heating up my new Pro-Melt (yes, Virginia, there was a leetle bit of smoke), then I charged the pot and turned it up to 650 (eleven! eleven!). While standing there, arms crossed and contemplating the infinite, a small bird, about wren sized, with a tan line under each eye, landed on my casting table.
Stood there, looking down, without moving. Then it moved.. thought it flew off.. it didn't. Felt a slight tugging at the right pocket of my apron. It was perching on the hem... Then I looked down and uncrossed my arms, it flew off about four feet, landed, then flew off.
Had to shoo the wren off the porch this morning
Little wren got in under the porch door and was flying to and fro. Propped the door open and shushed her out. Took about three tries before everything worked. Same tan lines and silhouette from Tuesday....
