A couple of years ago a friend of mine and me were<br />putting up a retaining wall up at my cabin(original wall rotted out) and we put three post holes the first day and called it a day. The next morning(about 5:30) I went down to check out how the holes looked and standing very still, a bird(legs about 12" long and body about 12" long) came down the trail to check the site out. I stood very still, and thought the bird hadn't seen me. It walked and stood right in front of me. Thought maybe it was just waking up and needed a booster(coffee for me, not sure what it needed) The bird is 2 feet from me, so I move over to the next post hole mound and it moves over. I move back over to where I was and it follows. The when in doubt, run theory comes to mind and I do, up the trail to the cabin. The bird followed me half way up the trail, then gave up. I'm only guessing that this bird has met other people and they gave it food. Might I be right?
