Well…I have been trying to remember to do a trail weirdness one every week but my memory has not been doing it’s job lately…today there was some weirdness that I really want to report before I forget it, though, so here goes…as the title says today was suicide bird day on the trail…with all kinds of birds just darting out in front of me all along the trail…and not just one type of bird, either…there were blue jays, sparrows, goldfinches, and one robin who cut out of the trees, turned right down the trail and flew just in front of my bike for at least 20 feet…close enough that I could have reached out and caught it if I was just a little faster….not behavior that I have seen in a while…or maybe ever….that, along with the female red-tailed hawk who sat about 6 feet away from me while I had a water break the other day…birds are going crazy and I am not sure why….
