题目内容
16.I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun,potting flowers outdoors.But that was before the pair of crows (乌鸦).Out of nowhere,they had set up their base camp in our backyard.We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning.It was early,and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood.I figured they'd go away soon.But,no.They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise.I admit I got a little desperate.
Then,on Sunday afternoon,I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground.I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass.Its eyes were milky,and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it.Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away.I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.
It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground,growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above.The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.
To be honest,I've never been much of a bird person.I also have a healthy respect for birds.They're basically living dinosaurs.
I wish they'd chosen another backyard.There are only so many sunny days in Seattle,and I still can't do any gardening out there.But I'm also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close.It's pretty amazing.
The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees,butterflies,and yes,birds.They are welcome here.
