re: the birds:
last week, I can no longer remember which day, I was up before dawn and
sitting on the back porch in Linden (Iowa County) and heard a big racket
which I could not identify.....the next thing I knew, a huge flock of
unidentified dark birds flew over my yard and over the farm fields beyond,
heading south.....I did not write about it at the time b/c I don't know what
they were, but they were noisy......
