Now we see through a glass darkly

Now we see through a glass darkly
Helen Keller and her mother exemplified in the Miracle Worker

Yesterday the couples were showing their husbands the worm hunting strategies of the South.

I could not understand the linear methods of these southern robins. The husbands were staring at their linear methods with jaundice eye. There is no such thing as linear worm hunting in the north. We go where every the wind takes us. We don't ask our dad if it is time to go worm hunting we eat whatever and whereever there is food. The arguments became heated and the male birds sulked in the tree for over an hour and they are thinking about moving because they refuse to let Dad Robin dictate the eating habits of their families.

Mr. Robin would be more than happy if they did move. The girls don't want to be that far away from their mother.
Robin conflicts!

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
