I grabbed my camera and my dog and I went for an afternoon walk. During our stroll, I came upon a small tree next to a house, so I stopped, ON A PUBLIC SIDEWALK, and began taking pictures of some birds in the tree. A car came screeching up alongside me and a woman yelled, "What do you think you're doing?" I explained to the elderly old gal that I was merely taking photos of the birds. She said, "That's MY house where the birds are and I don't want you taking pictures of them! Leave!"
I told her I was NOT going to leave, as I was on a public sidewalk and was doing nothing illegal. She said, "Well then, I'm just gonna' call the cops!"
"Fine," says I. "Go ahead, I'll wait."
I hung around and continued to take photos of leaves and birds and general stuff and about 10 minutes later a cop showed up. When he pulled alongside me, he had a big grin on his face and said, "So.... you're the guy shooting birds, huh?"
I replied, "Yes, I am indeed the 'bird-shooter'"
He chuckled and we chit-chatted for a while and he said he'd contact the woman and assure her that I was NOT a terrorist and was harmless.
Sheez..... she needs to get into the holiday season!
This is the scene of the crime! And.... the little sparrow waved goodbye as I left!
