This afternoon I walked past the Jotul 602 in the rear of the house. When I looked down I saw a small ring of soot at the base of the stove collar (I use the top flu exit vs the rear). Having no idea what was going on to put the soot there I stood and wondered for a minute. Then, I heard a faint scratch in the flu near the bottom collar, I knew then there was a bird in there. I grabbed a small towel and opened up the top heat plate on the stove and out came this wren of some sort, had no idea what kind because he was all black with soot except for his eyes. He flew towards the window and clenched onto the window lock. I got him with the towel and brought him outdoors, he flew off.
Anyone else with birds coming down the flu? Looks like I need to put a cage on my top...
