(no subject)

I was in the backyard yesterday with my binoculars and hat, trying to locate one of the birds I was hearing but not seeing (I think it was one of the orioles), when my downstairs neighbor turned up walking her dog. She asked what I was doing; I said birdwatching.

"Oh," she said, "are there a lot of birds around here?"



*sudden overwhelming flash of the "Oh, are you a musician?" scene from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure*



I told her yes, and indicated the neighbor's feeders, and we had some nice conversation before she and the dog went on their way.
