Look Outside my Window!
I think this weather is a blend of the four seasons…really! One day you have a sunny day and warm temperature then the following day gets cold enough to freeze our butts! Other days get windy and humid to turn into a devastating stormy rain. Birds are still coming every morning to wait outside for their food…and it’s still dark as night!
Welcome my friends! Look outside my window, do you see that bird back there in that bush? He’s a Northern Cardinal, long time resident of my backyard and majority inhabitant this time of the year.
The Northern Cardinal rule the neighborhood and believe or not they get a bit demanding too! Here’s a sample of what I mean:
That solitary bird on that top branch is an European Starling, he has grown and shows the colors of adulthood, ironic thing is that being a species so gregarious and numerous now he’s alone and look sad!
Bonus:
fad |fad|noun
An intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, esp. one that is short-lived and without basis in the object’s qualities; a craze.
How many people do you know that wants to do what ever they see or read on the media?

I like the way you imagine what the birds are saying.
I pick the ones that show an indication of intent or expressive motions and then add the proper dialog to go with it… simple. Thanks Susan! 🙂
