Morning Air

From Park in High Point, NC

I was up early this morning. At sunrise. Except the sky was overcast. The air was cool and quiet…well, mostly quiet. Everything was quiet except for the water falling onto the rocks in our fountain. Then the birds started to call out and it was a different kind of quiet.

Cool morning. Bluebirds,
Geese, killdeer, singing, calling.
Crows on the lookout.

We have birdhouses here and there in the yard but only one had birds this year. The bluebird chicks flew off a couple of weeks ago but now we have another batch hatching soon. Perhaps it’s the same family. We also have a nest of baby finches in the wreath on our front door. We try not to use the door but have taken pix of the chix being fed by the parents. They are not so quiet when the parents are around and they are hungry. Which is apparently most of the time. I wonder what the Amazon person thinks, but they probably don’t notice, we’re just another door step.

Crows are ever present but not in our yard…just off to the house to the east. They have tried to invade some of our neighbors space, dive bombing their pets and even the people. The murder must have a nest or food source close by the neighbor’s house.
