Our Temporary Aviary

Most years, birds nest at the top of our chimney. The sound carries well down the chimney, and it's very pleasant to be able to hear the starlings or mockingbirds from our living room. Yesterday, however, instead of remote twittering, I heard a bird growing louder and louder in the chimney. I knew immediately that a bird had fallen, or flown, all the way down into our fireplace!
