Dems Fightin' Birds

I've been keeping a short list of blog topics on a notepad. One says "Dems Fightin' birds" which is something I chuckled to myself the other morning when I was walking to my car and saw 2 robins ferociously chasing a black squirrel out of the bushes. I mean, the pour guy was running for his life.

I've been noticing all the stuff in the air this spring: From pollen to planes. And lots of birds. We're lucky in that our apartment complex has beautiful gardens and lots of tall trees, which are atwitter with hundreds of birds. There's a cute pair of finches that steal strands of moss lining from a hanging pot on my balcony. Every morning there out there foraging for nesting materials. I think it's moss. It looks more like dried straw or grass. A pair of blue birds were here in April doing the same thing, but they were a little more friendly and tried to hop in the house. They even try to pull out blue strings from the rug.
