It’s a sunny day, cool but not cold, blue skies–nice weather for enjoying a cigar and catching some sunshine (which I think will do me good). Weather-wise, it was a day very like yesterday.
The trees around us have all lost their leaves; but yesterday–just yesterday, mind you–those trees were full of birds, like a fine crop of black fruit. And squirrels scampered around the yard.
But today… the whole time I was out there, I didn’t see a single bird. No, not one.
Where were they? Can anyone explain it?
I suspect it means we’re in for a change in the weather.
Alfred Hitchcock made a movie about this. It might be a good idea to give it a watch. Big trouble has taken wing. 🙂
We went from chock-full o’ birds yesterday to no birds at all today. Where did they go?
They’re hiding out, plotting against us. 🙂
They say, back in the day, when birds migrated over KY & TN you could not see the sun for days on end there were so many of them. One of the downsides of the Industrial Revolution. When Desota adventured into the New Land and made it to Arkansas, most of the time the trees of the woods were so thick they could not see the sky.
They may have been resting on their way south, and then they took off again.
We have some birds that stay here all year. They’re the ones I was wondering about. It’s not unusual to see a snowy yard full of starlings.
I have noticed that situation around here, too. Here one day, gone the next.
Alfred Hitchcock could’ve explained it.
P.S.–They’re back today. I wonder where they went.
