this morning #1796.
this morning, the finches’ singing persisted. they’ve kept it up almost non-stop ever since first showing up yesterday morning. last night, as i tried to fall asleep, i had no other option. broke out the earplugs. don’t want to be mad at birds for just being birds but the constant chirping’s really getting on my nerves. don’t they need to sleep? don’t they have to take a break so they can mate? aren’t they in the least bit afraid of an owl swooping down & turning them into a tasty midnight snack? if they choose to stay, i pray that their racket subsides or at least becomes background noise. i’d like my last two weeks here to be relatively peaceful. i’d hate for my final memories of this place to be filled with bitter feelings toward finches.
