Side Effects of Bird Watching

I had a busy day today. I was too busy to even take my morning walk by the lake. I ended up spending a full eight and a half hour day without breathing a breath of fresh air or feeling the sun warm my skin. So once i got off work the fresh air could begin. As I collected my eggs from the chickens the tree wren talked to me from the crab apple tree. I looked at it talking and soon another tree wren in the very same tree started talking too. As I watered the plants on my deck the barred owl (perhaps the same one I saw last night?) started calling. Blue jays are yelling now. A hummingbird flashed the ruby throat at me before it went under the deck and levitated on the far side of the hummingbird feeder. Maybe he didn't want me to see it but I watched as he perched in the oak tree to rest and flap his wings a few times. Watching birds has a side effect of putting all the issues of the day aside for a few minutes and focus on the beauty at hand.
