Randy had arrived at the rookery for his first (he hoped) breeding season a little early. No one else was here yet; his adult plumage was iffy and his voice had not finished changing. He hoped he wasn't going to have to sing those old Four Seasons/Frankie Valli falsetto songs to attract a mate . . .

Susanna had never given the boys a stray thought. But now that she was in her early 20's (in bird years), the warm spring breezes were blowing, those frilly tail feathers were starting to look good, and romance was beginning to sound pretty appealing . . .
Late Again
Brida was in a mood–her soon to be husband (maybe not)) was late again, claiming he had car trouble. She was pretty sure his “car trouble” was that his keys were still in his pocket as he drank beer with his buddies and waited for the game to finish . . .
