Bird Attack

Not sure if anyone else has ever seen the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds", but it was one of those movies that freaked me out when I saw it. I've discovered that living here in Texas this time of year feels like I am right in the middle of that movie. I guess these birds are called grackles and they are seriously everywhere. They are so loud and annoying! I realize I live in the South, but I just wish they would fly more South for the winter! I took these pictures from the car yesterday a few blocks from our house! They don't really portray how many birds there really are, but it was the best I could do! Trust me, its kinda freaky!

That movie is freaky. And those pictures look freaky! I can't believe all those birds!

It looks like you guys have been busy lately and having some good times. Good luck with the upcoming delivery of your new family member! I hope all goes well and that you are feeling good. I know the waiting game is not always fun. Let us know when he arrives!
