Well, SingingWolf, welcome to my world. I am 66 and I started falling about two years ago. Been told I have a balance problem when my eyes are closed. Well I do not walk with my eyes closed. My problem is I cannot talk or maybe think and turn at the same time. The first time I fell I was on my early morning summer walk of the golf course cart path just before sunrise. I had turned to see if the sun was up because if it was I would stop for a few minutes and enjoy the beginning of the day. Well the sun was not up but it was light. I turned and started walking forward at the same time. I found out I cannot do that. The next thing I knew I was falling forward in slow motion, my water bottle flying through the air and then I hit the path face first. Broke my nose, glasses and pride. I am still falling but less often. I fell twice in January, once in February and twice in March. I am always falling in the garden. I am not old enough to have this happening to me. I would never pass a DUI test cold sober. I did get me ski cross country poles to help maintain my balance because I have a multi level, many boulders in my landscape. SingingWolf, I will guarantee you you have a nest being built. If you just sit near by and wait, she will show you where she is building her nest. Picture of some of my boulders.
