Birds

I like where my desk is. By a window. On sunny days and sometimes even wetter days, I like to open the blind as high as I can and watch the world go by as I type or read away. I like to make up stories of passers-by or animals or insects I see frolicking about. Birds especially love our yard after a fresh mowing.

I watched a bird today. A black bird. Have you ever been curious about a bird's actions? He (it's a he in my mind) would take a few steps and peck at the ground. Was he picking up some bug to eat or was he searching? Do birds actually poke their beaks into the ground for bugs or do they look before they peck? If birds look before they peck, then he was quite hungry. He pecked a path about 3 meters long. Birds must have large stomachs. =D
