Oh, thank you. I tried to record a video of the birds singing. There were 6 couples singing at the same time at the garden early this morning.

This reminds me of a chat with a woman from 
who told me that they built concrete patios around their houses to keep the bush back, along with everything that lurks in the bushes in that part of the world…

Ask the fish in Lake Huron about hanging out near the outflow from the Bruce Nuclear development. The fish just 
the effluent. The temperature is carefully regulated, but just that wee bit toastier than the (often) ice covered lake around it.
The deer love the “no hunting” rules inside the development too. The plant has to feed them in the winter, otherwise tourists see them looking thin from overpopulating the area and think they are dying from something 
.

We used to have a shoal of goldfish downriver from the local (non-nuclear) power plant. I had no idea goldfish could grow this large.

If the Detroit or St. Claire rivers ever freezes over, it’s possible Chronic Wasting Disease will find its way into Ontario from Michigan. Which you wouldn’t want onlookers to think either because it could lead to less hunting outside of the plant property, which leads to over population, which leads to rapid spread of CWD. 
I hate this timeline. Zombie deer just shouldn’t be a thing.

Speaking of thrushes:
We had a wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) build a nest & raise a clutch in our backyard, the summer after we moved here. I don’t recall seeing any since. Years later, I found out that they’re the state (or, district?) bird of D.C.
Meanwhile, here’s a killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) in MD.

It’s a lie. That thing could not kill a deer.
(More evidence that birds aren’t real.)

This guy is so cute. If his color was black instead of brown, it might look like he was cosplaying as Pingu.
I think this bird would only kill a deer through an elaborate ruse.

What if it lured the deer onto a busy highway?

Maybe having to do with the pit trap it is standing on?
