Birds

Current mood: weird

My cats have been glued to our dining room window watching the birds. Besides getting a new bird feeder (from Nicole and Clay) we are on the migration route for the birds! This has caused as many as up to a 100 birds landing in our yard, on the house, on our neighbors house , and in the surrounding evergreen trees. Sometimes you can even hear the birds with all of the windows and doors closed. It's helpful to know when a weather front is coming through but it sort of drives the cats nuts. I have taken to getting out the binoculars and using Doug's bird book to identify some of the smaller birds. My favorites are the Field sparrows and the Back Cap chick-a-dees. Mornings can be a little weird though because sometimes it feels like you are in some sort of strange sci-fi movie!
