Dec 19th, 2019 : Anti-Santa Shield

[xoxoxoBruce]

Dismantling this chimney revealed 25 generations of bird nests, no access for Santa for at least that long.
Don't know why they were taking it apart but the house in the background is typical of the big old houses
with lots of fireplaces traditional or Franklin throughout the house for heat.
With central heat conversions many chimneys went unused.



Someone suggested it might be the work of Vaux swifts which are tiny little birds at only 4.5 inches long
and weigh less than an ounce. The feather on top of the nests is way to big for that bird but may have been
found nest lining material.
