They were probably extra-aggressive due to overpopulation relative to the habitat. My mom says they get that way in Florida in the spring, too.
I’m going to clean the stove now, so I’ll have an Accomplishment for the day.
I’m pretty sure that’s what it was. But the next year, there were hardly any birds at all, not even the egg-stealing crow that harassed the mockers. The only bird we saw or heard the next year was the red-tailed hawk. Even the pigeons were gone, for which I was very glad.
I’m too tired to have an Accomplishment for the day. Or even an accomplishment. I think the shower was the best it’s going to get. Not to mention its gloomy again.
