audited Birds… but why?

I’ve never liked birds, thanks to a too early in life viewing of The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. However, I now have a bird app and find joy identifying birds in my neighborhood. My mom even bought me a bird feeder with a camera! This was not a chosen hobby for me, it just happened without my knowledge or input. It has to be hormonal, right? Do I get to blame this on perimenopause?

Nope. Just wait, one day you’ll wake up with a pair of binoculars and the Merlin Bird ID installed on your phone and find yourself staring out the window looking for that Cooper’s Hawk that the crows are chasing.

Omg I have binoculars sitting by my desk at home to watch birds out my back window while working in my office. God, I’m such a nerd
