I had two unusual incidents this past week with birds. Both times, a large amount of birds were on my roof. I could see their shadows against the curtains, flying to and fro. They were scuffling around, squawking their heads off. The second incident, yesterday, was so loud that I went outside to see what the heck they were doing. I opened the door and a large black crow was standing on the porch railing. It just stood there and looked at me for a few seconds, then flew up into a tree. I have a lot of trees around my house, most with leaves half gone. I walked out and did a perimeter sweep. I could see them (LOTS of them) in the trees. As I walked around, I heard one caw behind me. Then a crow in another tree parallel to me cawed. Then another cawed in a tree ahead of me. The birds were signaling each other. It was creepy. Remember the above scene? That's what it felt like. Maybe Alfred Hitchcock wasn't so far off base, after all.
So, then I received an email from one of our members today...
"I live in the Upper West Side of Manhattan next to Lincoln Center in an 8 story apartment complex with a small adjacent park. Was awakened this morning at about 6am by many birds, perhaps 500+ that arrived in the park who were making a loud ruckus chirping, squawking, and screaming. Opened my window to see what was going on as my unit faces the park, and observed the birds frantically harvesting small branches and twigs from the trees. Some birds were actually fighting over materials and were falling all over each other. Creeped me out a bit as I wondered what these birds sense, and/or know, that we don't?"
Something is definitely up with the birds. Could they be agitated by HAARP? By the Frankenstorm? Let us know if you are detecting abnormal behavior with the birds in your area.

Some of us perceive events in a way akin to the animal kingdom. I am not sure about this, but while waiting to be served at a book store, This woman tol the cashier that one of her friend has a wolf for pet. She mentioned that since the past two days, this wolf has refused to get out of its cage. Has for birds, this summer, my feeder has remained full. Now that it is cold, I do not get the same bird activity than before. For us here, birds have been some what absent.
Thanks Mr Hitchcock for my "bird" phobia - after all aren't they reptilian? Only joking ..... seriously though, the animal kingdom (excluding humans) is generally a lot more perceptive to our environment (some with greater range of hearing, some with sonic abilities and others with infrared sight) than most of us (humans) are!
With 10+ readings on HAARP and the Frankenstorm heading to our East Coast, I can see that disturbing our feathered friends. Then you have the Louisiana Sink Hole Problem, Methane problems on the east coast I think also. Scarey times.
