birdwatching at midnight

Getting caught up on reading the blogs of others when I'm too baffed for my brain to send messages accurately to my fingers. One of the blogs I read includes a 10-second video of a redstart and, for poetry loving birders, a list of names for pigeons that Rimbaud noted when in England.

In a state of being-too-tired-to-write but not-wanting-to-go-to-bed, I decided to look on youtube for anything appealing on "birdwatching in winter" and found one filmed by someone with (probably) frozen fingers in Southern Ontario, and with music by Sigur Ros, appropriately.

Task for first light: scrub out the bird feeders, open the garage, see if the resident chipmunk has left any seeds,  and give the feathered locals some breakfast.
