After Irrigation


There is carnage in the yard.

After the irrigation - we live in a part of the Valley where water from canals is used to soak the lawns - the birds launch a campaign to gobble up any bugs who floated to the surface and hence to their doom. Grackles, robins, blackbirds, mockingbirds, and their ilk try to find a feast.

They work with the focus of a diamond cutter and the ruthlessness of a hit man..

I never fail to be impressed by their energy.
