There’s a bank of six tall windows behind the antique trestle table in the living room where my computer sits. I was working on e-mail this afternoon when I heard a rap-rap-rapping on the window behind me.
\nA young blackbird was standing on the sill outside, tapping at the bird he saw reflected off the window. Silly bird.

The window sills on the inside of the window are too narrow to hold him. He crouched and watched the silly bird…..following it as it moved from window to window. I thought I might hear the “ick-ick” that my Siamese cat used to make when he was hunting, but Ed was silent. He grimaced a bit when he realized that he wasn’t going to be able to get closer, but he never gave himself away.
