Bird Brains

Before sun up The Commander turned on the bedroom lights and burnt the eyes right out of Kadizzle. The Commander is going birding with Kadizzle's sister Patty.  Apparently they need to get to the worms before the birds do.  Kadizzle and The Commander, with Patty will go to Belize to look at birds in February.  Kadizzle is not really a bird brain, but the two women are avid bird brains.

As a child Kadizzle often went to summer camp where birding was a big deal. The simple dingers who ran the camp would make all of us poor kids get up and go into the soggy woods to find the birds.  Kadizzle would get at the back of the line wandering through the fog and mist. Kadizzle was a good whistler, and would fake bird calls.  It was fun to see the reaction of the dingers as they identified a bird by it's call that was not really there.  How long can you stare at a bird?  The birds must assume humans have smaller brains than they do.  Who would get up early to watch birds when you could be home warm drinking coffee?
