Met a bird last night who landed on my bimini. It wasn't very easy for her to land on a rolling sailboat in 20 knots of wind, but she made it after a couple of attempts. I thought she was just curious about the boat, but she really wanted to stay there either to rest or for a free ride. I would have let her stay if she had picked a different spot, but it was right next to the solar panel and wind vane and I had to scare the bird away. To my surprise, she wasn't very impressed with my yelling or getting close to her, and the only thing that worked was a direct flash light in the eye. She then took off and tried to land again in a minute. I had to flash the light 7 times or so before the bird gave up.
