Golf ball mystery just might involve a birdie


We live on the edge of Briones Regional Park so we have lots of birds and animals around our yard.

When we moved into our house about four years ago, my husband found a golf ball in the outer part of the yard. He put it in a large wooden planter box that sits on the patio.

Several times throughout the years the ball has disappeared, and then shown up again somewhere else in the yard. Each time my husband has put the ball back in the planter box.

Well, a couple of days ago, we looked outside and there were two golf balls in the planter box. They were both the same brand, so we presume they came from the same general area.

We can't figure out what animal or bird would move golf balls around. Any ideas? We have no children who might be moving the balls around.

Dear Louise:

Any golf courses near your house? Not that it matters.
