Thank You Flies!
Animal Tales | May 13, 2010
I sit in the warm April sun listening to the magpies, killdeer, robins, ravens, sparrows, blackbirds – to the chittering of the ground squirrels as they run about looking for the very, very, very juiciest blades of young grass. To the call of the geese and sandhill cranes in the distance. To the lazy buzz of flies.
Flies! Food for the birds! Last week there was a blizzard and we worried how they would live in a snow-covered landscape.
Today they fill their bellies as they flit about preparing nests, putting on weight for the siege to come of outrageously demanding babies.
