I found this jerk on my patio baby eggplants. It interrupted my game with my dog. Rude. So I sent it for a ride. Sorry if the video wasn’t steady. I didn’t want to drop the leaf. The coolest and most frustrating part happened about 5 minutes later and it’s frustrating because I was too busy watching to record….A red breasted nuthatch (according to my elderly neighbor who’s a birdwatcher. She was outside watching me play fetch with my dog and saw it happen) snatched it up and went back up to a tree with the leaf and all hanging out of it’s mouth.

I’m glad the bird ate it. I always squish those guys, they can decimate your entire crop
Damn, most airlines don’t offer a free meal with their flights!
lmao is that one of those dog ball throwers , i use mine in the garden too!
I love this. It’s exactly what I do with [invasive European slugs](https://www.nps.gov/olym/learn/nature/slugs.htm) but I have a steep drop off to a creek. Very satisfying to fling them high over the vegetation.
I was very happy last month when while washing dishes, out the window I saw a mockingbird pluck a hornworm off one of my potted tomatoes, pause a moment on a patio chair before taking off with the pest firm in beak
May the odds be ever in your favor!
I do the same thing! I always have my dog’s ChuckIt when I garden 😂😂
