Headed to Florida, ended up in Sedona

[tonycamacho]

We left Puerto Vallarta, Mexico March 13th heading to Ocala, Florida to do my first work camping job. We even rented out our Marina Vallarta basin condo and I was really looking forward to do some "working" and spending more time in my Monty. Since retiring from skippering yachts, I really miss “working” any type of working. Anyway, while we were in San Carlos, Mexico heading towards the border I broke my ankle. Don’t ask me how, because all I did was step on the RV pad as we set up for the night, there was a snap and then lots of pain from my left ankle. My trip was scrubbed and I have ended up in Sedona Arizona nursing my ankle while caretaking a ranch for the widow of a great friend we met in Puerto Vallarta.

Since arriving here as the spring season has set in I have learn a lesson about birds, they love to make their nest in the hollow area of the pin box. For the last two days I have had a running battle with a red headed bird that just can’t take being evicted from the pin box. It’s funny because I have used masking tape, cardboard and plastic wire ties to keep this bird out of the pin box, but he manages to pull the tape, peck a hole in the cardboard and get between the wire ties to make a nest. Sedona is beautiful and I believe Karma brought us here, I’ll just have to figure out away to keep this Red Headed Bird from evicting me.

Hey Tony, if you need a handy guy for a few days, let me know, we will be heading that way in a few month's. Don't do windows...

We have to keep our pin box stuffed with towels, before that we had nest two different times.

We are currently using a plastic water bottle. Seems to have discouraged our nesters. For the moment.

Try a rubber snake. Birds don't like them and it works sometimes.
