The Birds

I used to live in Oklahoma City.  I enjoyed my time there, but decided to move back home when my nephew was born.  I have many fond memories of  my time in "the City" and the birds are one of them.

In the Spring and Fall every year, certain areas of the city had an influx of birds.  I don't know where they spent the Summer and Winter, but they all seemed to congregate in a few select places every Spring and every Fall. 

I worked in "one of those areas", so you had to be really careful walking to your car in the evening.  Most people watch out for strangers waiting to accost them, but we watched out for birds dive bombing us on the way to the car.  With hundreds of birds in the 7 trees we had in our parking lot, it was inevitable that someone was going home with fresh white splashes of color on their clothes or in their hair...and I'm not talking about paint here people!

Well, I've been gone from OKC about 10 years now, but visited last weekend.  Much to my delight,  some things never change - the birds are still there - they're just leaving splashes of color on people besides me!
