Birds.
My day has been punctuated by incongruous birds.
(And how's that for something you don't hear every day?)
There were two geese in the parking lot at work this morning. Walking single file through the lot, one of them honking from time to time. And pretty much ignoring me, even though I came within a yard of them and probably could have got closer.
And there was a parrot perched on head of a woman in the subway on my way home. (At least I think it was a parrot, or something in the parrot family anyway.) Bright green, flecked with yellow in body and wings, red breast and head, purple band across the eyes. Amusingly, much more colorful than the woman carrying it, who wore black; her hair was black too, held out of her face by a clip that the parrot nibbled on at times.
No, there's no real significance to any of this. Just ... birds. Whee. :)

Re:
Side note: someone else's LJ that I found through someone else's friends list indicates that she, too, has a thunkbird. And hers, like mine, is a robin. Her thunkbird, however, has been attacking her house windows for the past three years.
I know I should've done it this week, but I have GOT to buy those hawk silhouettes and fasten them to the OUTSIDE windows this weekend. Flashy things attached to the inside of my window haven't convinced Stupid the Thunkbird to go away and I don't think I can take an entire summer of this, let alone three.

Of course, I can still hear Mourning Doves, but that just makes me think "are you mourning for your own death, or your brother's?" because they are THE most oblivious birds in existence, and fall frequently to the two-holes-in-the-side disease.
