Last Wednesday while walking my dog, I was buzzed by mockingbird parents as is common when they have recent hatchlings in the nest that are unable yet to fly or get food. It is surprising when this happens but it’s important to respect these bird-parents who do what they need to do to protect their young and just avoid the area for a few days.

Earlier I was in a peaceful protest march under the globe, and we were verbally accosted by an angry white man coming out of LW so he was probably a resident. He screamed obscenities at us. I suppose he has a right to express his feelings but it strikes me as bullying behavior designed to intimidate and does nothing to further the aims of a peaceful society.

Perhaps he and his ilk can learn something from the birds but I won’t hold my breath.
