Finally, some sun...well, weak sun, early on for a few hours at least.Wet adn soggy and dark, usualy by 3pm. We're supposed to be getting more light every day, but I don't see it. A mild, green Christmas and New Year's.....can't complain. The sparrows are back. Flocks and flocks of them. Hundreds of little bodies diving and peeping and scrounging for seeds.
The red finch seems to be in control......always telling them what to do. They're organized. I'm reminded of the movie "The Birds". I wonder what they are thinking in their tiny bird brains.
Swarming over the back lawn, the front, the side...................feeding voraciously.
In the trees, any twig they can perch upon. They sit and wait and watch...................
Of course, Grey Cat is no help whatsoever. He comes to the yard every day. He lives behind us, but likes our lawn best. His soft, padded paws are silent....................sometimes he even catches the od sparrow, caught unawares. Grey Cat looks smug.
Oh look, only a few hours of daylight left. Time to revel in at least a few D rays, till the next day and the sparrows return once more.
