Bird at Breakfast

Last week we were having breakfast restaurant in Costa Rica, like most with open sides, when a bird flew in and just sat on the top of chair at our table. Seeing birds fly into the restaurant checking our food is ordinary. But for one to sit at the table just watching us watch him is special. When I pulled out my camera to take his picture he just poised for the shot.

Also one of the benefits of last week was that we did not have watch any TV political commercials. I rather watch birds at breakfast table then the endless TV commercials for political candidates. The bird brings something fresh to breakfast while the commercial brings something stale to TV.

I saw a red cardinal in the backyard last week sitting on the rail of the deck. I was surprised since I have not seen one all summer and this fall. Now that the weather was cold I thought all cardinals have gone south. Maybe all the bird food in backyard garden was the attraction. But this Cardinal unlike the bird in the restaurant did not stay and wait around for me to get my camera.

Lesson learned: a bird at breakfast is less afraid than bird on deck.
