This past year has been trying in a lot of ways. I won’t rehash all the reasons here, but I know if it were not for the bird feeder hung outside my “office” window I would have gone crazy all those telecommuting days. I truly enjoy looking up from my workspace from time to time and seeing the birds outside. It always amuses me to watch a Titmouse or Blue Jay come up grab some seed and flee. The back and forth between sparrows and blackbirds, and even the fun that buntings have been for this amateur bird watcher. The birds remind me a lot of ourselves running into stores and getting out as fast as we can with groceries or other goods.
