So when I saw one with puffy, sickly looking eyes, I took notice. The poor bird stayed for a long time, half blind and hungry. Google and Cornell’s ornithology institute, said to take the feeders down for at least a few weeks. I’d only seen the one so far, but many more were sure to follow, they agreed. Taking the trays down was the thing to do.
Any number of heartless deities and birders alike would logically dismantle what has become an embarrassingly large ecosystem without a thought. Watching the birds brings me sweet awe any number of times a day, a focus I’ve learned to chase down any rabbit hole, not just the metaphorical ones.
