Rhapsodies

I’ve been doing a lot of walking the last couple of weeks, an activity that I enjoy as an opportunity to meditate, brainstorm and save on bus fare. So when I was making my way to the University District I noticed something for the first time this year. The birds were really going at it. I’m not talking about the usual generic calls. But this was the first time I had heard them actually singing (or as I like to call it staking their turf) in a long time. Which means the earliest sign of the spring season is upon us.

In another bird related note, I saw a bunch of crows mobbing something in Ravenna park. They were too high up it the trees for me to get any idea who their victim was but I like to think it was that barred owl I saw last year.
