The Sound of a Beautiful Morning 

 

The sound of the morning might not sound like a sound at all. At First it sounds completely idiotic to say that morning has a sound to it and it does. In my English class we are doing a 2 month project of observation on a subject of our choice. Every morning before I go head out the door on my way to school I have been observing the morning but to be more specific I am observing Song birds because that is the highlight of every morning. Waking up by the alarm, taking a shower, and heading outside into the crisp warm morning sun with a slight breeze smelling like the roses. During a 15 minute span I observe as much as I can about habits of the song birds, what they eat, what is the season that they breed in, and etc.

 

In the past week the air has been so polluted with smoke that only a starling will be brave enough to sing in the air and wake up the world. In the front yard of my house there is a tree within that tree is a bird feeder containing Thistle; thin little black seeds that attract song birds. On that bird feeder I have seen lesser Gold finches and house finches. Little have I known that for the past year or so that I have been living in the house the song of bird that sounds so beautifully just like the feeling I get in my stomach from the smell of pancakes is how I feel about this song now not only my mornings smell better but the also sound better too. I am NOT a morning person but because of these wonderful birds I am willing to drag my butt out of bed just to write about these amazing creatures.          -Alejandro Ruelas
