Birds . . .

I awoke early this morning to the urban dawn chorus of birds. I went out with the deck and pulled some recordings which I am cleaning up over coffee. As I walked around I began to slowly realize that these birds were everywhere. Probably 100 birds to every person living in the city. Who knows? There was an interesting hierarchy to their movements and their songs. Then I began to notice the air conditioning units. Each unit turning on and off. There was an interesting hierarchy to their movements and songs. Two species, one ecology.
