Where: the neighborhood

When: 8:00 am

Bird Species: house sparrow, house finch, northern cardinal, gray catbird, mourning dove, European starling

Things I Thought About:

• Boy, oh boy, do I ever hate going into the district on a beautiful morning like this.
• I feel like for every five years you support yourself you should get one full paid year off. Who will pay for this? I dunno, man. Men? Just in general, men. No, not men in general, I don't guess, billionaires. Some fucking man billionaire can pay for it.
• The birds and my bird blog have been boring of late, and I'm always exhausted and cranky these days, have you noticed this.
• Maybe I'll try to get out of town this weekend.

BOTD: male house finch, fish in a barrel. Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring. It's a good-looking bird, though.
