I was sitting on the screen porch. Warm, sunny Friday afternoon. Doing a mac5 disaster recovery test. All of the sudden bird noise escalated in the River Birch just next to the porch. I got up to see what was going on. I counted no less than 6 bluebirds, 1 bluejay, 2 cardinals, 1 red headed woodpecker, a multitude of little finches, and a squirrel all swarming around in the same space. They all seemed to be yelling at one another. I couldn’t tell who was yelling at whom or why. The bluebirds were investigating an old birdhouse, but it is Fall, so I don’t know why. This all lasted for about 10 minutes.
Things are quieter now.
I was just talking with Carol about birds and lack of rain. She thinks the birds go away when it is so dry. I don’t know, but our bird seed continues to disappear. I wonder why the birds are so loud early in the mornings in the spring, and they are not making a peep now?
