sandeyeThis week in the yard
March 21st 2008 20:04
Over the past week, I have spent much of my time devoted to working in my study in order to eventuate enough income to pay the bills. This has meant that much less time than usual has been taken lying around my bedroom, lazing about whilst playing music, studying Buddhism or reading books. Therefore, less notice of the birdlife has occurred.
However, I have noticed that Wednesday produced very little companionship in the way of pigeons. It is something of a mystery. Usually, there are one or two sitting or resting on the bedroom windowsill. Additionally, there are generally several at various locations around the yard or on next door's sills and roof. For some reason, when going outside to check for junk mail or hang out/bring in laundry, there was not a single pigeon in sight.
I am not sure where they all were, or whether it was the heat wave or our neighbor shooing them from her sill that made them vanish. Perhaps there is a series of seasons or special events in the pigeon calendar, one such falling upon that day. Apart from feeding time, I did not spot a pigeon all day long. Smokey and Spotty did not hang out in the yard, though Smokey appeared briefly at evening mealtime. Maybe they sensed I was too busy to pay attention, though usually that does not stop their accumulation about our house exterior.
