the birds

for some reason, small birds (finches, I think) have been flying into my windows today and walking around on the gutters and the vent covers, so many little footsteps, I thought it was raining.

We’ve had birdstrikes before, some fatal, but never more than one a day: some of these have been more than one at a time. They seem to bounce off and fly away, but that’s gotta hurt.
