CHIRP CHIRP

There is a little gray bird who sits on a rock right outside the kitchen screen and chirps away all day long. All spring and summer I have thought, “What a friendly little bird!” She is always there chirping while I do the dishes, flicking her tail at me with every chirp. Today I realized that maybe she doesn’t sit there all day long. Maybe she only sits and chirps while I am there. I was very proud of myself when I found her nest up under the eaves right above the kitchen sink (but outside the screen of course). She is not a friendly bird after all. She just wants me to go away so she can tend her nest. I believe she is a flycatcher.
