Here are just some of the beautiful birds that stop by and visit us at home. They are a band-tailed pigeon, California quail, Northern flicker, and Western bluebird. There are lots more that come by every day and it’s so much fun to see them, but I don’t have much good to say about one of the others: CROWS! If they’re really as intelligent as they say, why don’t the crows come up with a less disturbing sound? They always sound like they’re upset about something.
