Bird song

I have a strong dislike for birds. I hate sea gulls that chase me and grab chicken out of my hand, magpies, squawky bluejays, woodpeckers that hang on the cedar shingles above the bathroom window and do their stuff, blackbirds that sit on the neighbor's deck, tease the dogs, and eat their food and falcons that crash into the big front room window and look so dazed. Anything (red wing blackbirds in Coalhurst) that swoops at me is bad news.
Consequently, I am aware of every bird in my scope. Yes, I hear and appreciate the song of the meadowlark, (they have never bothered me), the evensong of the robins, the beauty of the bluebirds around Ashcroft BC, the eagles swooping for salmon in the Thompson River, and the amazing flight of the hummingbird. So now you know.
