We are nature. We are nature seeing nature. The red-winged blackbird flies in us.
I am a closet birdwatcher. I can identify Southern African species, but it irks me I can barely tell a jay from a blackbird in the U. K.
Blackbirds are the cellos of the deep farms.
Words like 'unputdownable' and 'irresistible' are simply not enough for Cat Winters's In the Shadow of Blackbirds. Days after finishing this story, it remains the first thought I have in the morning, and the thing that haunts me until I sleep.
we have to suffer mosquitoes the size of blackbirds.
I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.
