Hah, Kathy! Sky rats – what an image. I picture them like rain. Hmmm – something to draw with my new pencils perhaps.

Birds are way cool. Except pigeons. Don’t like pigeons Are they even birds? I call them rats of the sky.

In reply to Steph. Thank you, Steph! This means a lot coming from a published photographer. So much drama to be seen from our porch rockers and kitchen sink windows. There is no way I will get bored in retirement. I wonder if the birds assume from looking at us that everything is peachy all the time, or if they watch long enough to see the underlying drama.

Good comparison and you wouldn’t realize how similar they are unless you watch them a lot. While standing at the kitchen sink the other day I noticed a cat in the neighbour’s yard eating SOMETHING under a tree. I had a feeling it was a baby bird. I went over but by the time I got there the head had been consumed. I saw the mother sitting above on the telephone lines with a worm in her beak. I apologized to her and walked off. I wonder if there were more babies up there as I did see the damn cat look up there like, “You’re next!” That’s the only part about spring I don’t like here. Great pics by the way! Birds are fun to photograph and observe!
