(Don't you just love birds' names?)He's looking annoyed because the bird-feeder is empty. It's empty because He Ate It All. With a little help from his friends... they wintered Somewhere Else, and whereever it was, obviously there was a food shortage, because what was lasting the cardinals and starlings and red-winged blackbirds and little finches and sparrows and bluejays a whole week, is now gone in twenty-four hours.
He's quite cute really: something halfway between a starling and an English blackbird, with metallic blues and greens shining from his black feathers, and a very beady eye.
