It was hopping around in the road with several others and would pick up a straw and drop it for a better one. Then it flew up to an awning with one and went into a fold of it. It seemed to be trying the place for it soon tried another. Then it came out and still for awhile with the straw in its mouth. It soon let it drop and watched interestedly and then flew away This afternoon about sundown over in the Park I watched a Great Horned Owl wake up.
