Over the weekend at our house, you could hear the hustle and bustle of housecleaning, as we performed the annual deconstruction of the holiday decorations. As we were busy indoors, the birds took the hint outside, and we had a waiting line at the birdbath. Here, a Boat-Tailed Grackle stares incredulously at an invading Starling, who seems to be giving the all-clear to his brethren (“Come on in, the water’s fine!”).
Here’s hoping you had an enjoyable holiday season, and that you have a prosperous and peaceful New Year in 2013.
