A backyard visitor is not happy that its birdbath is dry.

SAN LEANDRO, CA — An unknown critter that's been visiting Miyo Burnett's backyard made a return appearance. It is still uninterested in the golf ball it left behind last Friday. After the critter dropped it on the ground Saturday, Miyo keeps it in the birdbath in case it changes its mind.

Monday night she did not refill the birdbath. The result was a tipped-over container on her deck Tuesday morning that contains rain water during the winter. Miyo was careful to refill the birdbath on Tuesday.

Miyo is considering a wildlife cam. We can't wait to see what it turns up.
