Looks like a cozy place to hang out.Straw attracts bugs on the ground and we all know what that meansIt actually started before the grass seed but the grass seed has been keeping them in that open space longer than I like. Why they risk crossing the open space in the first place is what I am not quite sure about. Looks like the same weeds to me but I am not a chicken. Maybe it’s a bug thing in which case I applaud their efforts.
