Breaking news: A Ford dealership in Kansas can't release a sold F-250 because a robin moved in first.
An employee at the dealership located outside Kansas City noticed a robin building a nest on the tire of a brand new F-250 that was already sold. The robin laid four eggs and successfully hatched them.
The truck is now stuck on the lot until the chicks fledge, because the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 makes it illegal to disturb an active nest of any native bird in the United States.
The buyer has been a good sport. The dealership called it the only F-250 in America currently protected under federal law.
Wilson the woodpecker is back again this year, knocking it out on the aluminum downspouts to attract the girls. Have no idea if it works but he gets points for persistence.

@pnwkate Great horned owls. There are a pair nearby that ‘hoo’ at each early in the morning. It’s a great way to start the day. Sit outside with a cup of coffee and listen to owls courting.
Harriet stopped by for breakfast. Hillary and Hannah should be here soon as well. It's a bit of a fight some mornings at the feeder but the girls are stocking up for migration.
Critical aid shipments are ready to go to TX communities devastated by the weekend flooding. Donate to our efforts, and Charlie’s Car Wash & Blue Beacon Truck Wash will match your gift through July 31. Learn more about our relief efforts and donate: https://t.co/6RtN34w31Q
3 eggs in the nest. Mama Amelia on full alert mode. Not sure what she's watching but there was a dust up this morning. Don't mess with Amelia. She is fierce.
