To Catch a Starling

As we approached the fall harvest, we put up the nets around our vineyard to keep out the birds who would eat us into poverty if they were given the chance.  The process of putting up nets and closing any gaps or holes takes several days and is quite strenuous, involving a lot of ladder-climbing.  There were definitely some lighter moments as we had to free a tangled Vino on a few occasions when she tried to exit a different place than she entered on our daily vineyard walks #puppyshame  She quickly proved her worth, however, as she developed a technique for catching the invasive starlings in the nets and, well, you can imagine the results.
