"Starlingette" City!

Those Starlings certainly own Pitts School Road, in that area. And they have a strict schedule, for sure. Today I passed and they were already, some of them resting from the early runs that they had made and some of them on the second lap of their day's runs. I was too late to see the fun of their morning to each irritate one of the cows, before they are awake enough to be unalarmed. Every morning they choose a target and come just close enough to her ear to make her jump as high as a cow can in the morning. They nearly choke on the mouthful of grass that they are working on at that moment. Each morning it is a new game, because they seem to forget that it happens every day. They all laugh over it after it is past, but when it happens it is the alarm of the cow's morning.

The angel’s love that song that the Gaither’s sing. They came down to tell me so, this morning. We hardly have as much fun as when that song is sung, it is such fun. They brought the whole wing closet down close for me to see this and that set of wings that they wear for this and that occasion. It is true that we don’t rejoice about those little things, but our closet doesn’t look like yours, they teased. They are always getting on me about the condition of my closet. That is our constant interaction. This is how we hang our wings here and there in the sky. I know, I know. It takes just a minute. I know! We were laughing about it in the “Vocative Mood”.

Sparrow's Spring nest

Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow were caught, by me yesterday, shopping together for a new home. They flitted and flirted, just outside my window. Talking and discussing and lovingly disagreeing, if not arguing the benefits and the pitfalls of living at our house.
Mrs. Sparrow was very impressed with the 2 "ready made" nests hung outside our window. Mr. Sparrow hadn't even thought of them as "ready-made" nests. He used them for the provision of building materials for the private home that he had in mind in a surprise and hidden place. He doesn't like the openness, at all, of our porch. It's much too populated. When Mr. Sparrow gets it into his mind to give his sweet chicky a peck, he wants the freedom to do it without a bunch of younguns peeking over the nest to see what comes next.
Mrs. Sparrow was impressed that the porch was fully protected from hailstones. We all know what happened to a great many of last years' nests in that surprise hailstorm we had. Male birds seem to have a very short memory for storms. They have only one thing in mind in the nest building season... 03/09
