Those Resilient Birds
A bird hit our window the other day. It stood dazed on the deck for a bit and died shortly thereafter. It was such a waste of a beautiful creature, and it happens several times a year, whether we’re feeding birds at the time or not. It happens in any season and it’s safe to say it happens at nearly every home. There should be something we can do. Some technology that would keep birds from flying into windows, short of eliminating them. The windows that is.
Notes From All Over
Last week I was in Florida. I have a deck that overlooks a small lake and there is a small parcel of land between the lake and the ocean. I looked below and saw two guys fishing in their barefeet standing where typically there is an alligator. I thought they were crazy. I kept watching and the one guy had something hooked and the other guy kept casting where the one guy’s line was hooked. This made no sense to me. Then they both were hooked and started reeling in unison. Suddenly something came through the surface of the water and it was huge, but all I could see was crashing water.
