When first I moved into this complex, I was struck by the copious joyful noise of the multitude of birds. Every morning I would awaken in the pre-dawn gray to such glorious music. Lately I have not heard the birds singing. Why they suddenly turned quiet I have no idea. It is the same with the deer family who seem to have disappeared from our midst. I miss them tremendously. I haven't even seen many rabbits of late either. I am beginning to think there is some sinister reason for the dearth of wildlife, but I cannot imagine what that might be.
Today, I am delighted to discover the return of the bird song. I pick out distinctive calls - the mourning dove, the blue jay, the sparrows, the whiporwill, a crow - the chatter is happy and suggests a long and delightful summer ahead, despite what may be record temperatures. Welcome back, dear friends. I hope you encourage the deer and rabbits to return.
