[Rhodes22-list] Wren vs Lark

[Chris Cowie]

Just finished my spring cleaning Saturday and on Sunday I found about a dozen purple dots splattered about my deck.  Apparent bird droppings that seem to have stained thru the gel coat.  Not sure how to get rid of the stain.

Love this bird thread. We lost numerous Davis windvanes to birds including one night when I think was a blue heron tried to land on it in the middle of the night while we were at anchor - judging from the to the "squonk!!" and the flapping as it flew off. Probably should have tried one with the spike but went to a Davis Spar-fly instead which worked well but the 'fly' part of it wasn't very UV resistant.

And of course you've mostly all heard the duck story.
