But that was before the pair of crows (烏 鴉 ). Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our backyard. We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I figured they’d go away soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise. I admit I got a little desperate. Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground. I went to explore and found a small coalblack bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it. Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera. It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above. The second I saw this little creature I fave the crows. To be honest, I’ve never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds, and by healthy I mean slightly fearbased. They’re basically living dinosaurs. I wish they’d chosen another backyard. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can’t do any gardening out there. But I’m also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close. It’s pretty amazing. The experience has also reinforced my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies, and yes, birds. They are wele here. 21.

A. show an annoying situation B. share a personal experience C. call on readers to protect birds D. seek advice on dealing with crows B On my table sits a photograph of a young man with thick black hair and eyes dark with the depth of understanding. It is Andy, who never hurt people. If he was angry, you knew it. If he was sad, he showed it. However, being the middle son, Andy always seemed to play the role of the mediator. The way he behaved could make people calmer and there was something mature about his judgment. He was an activist all of his life. At age 15, he traveled to Washington, ., to take part in a Youth March for Integrated (綜合的 ) Schools. At 17, he journeyed to West Virginia by bus to examine the poverty of Appalachia. At 19, he worked at a camp for children who lacked money and education. Then, in the spring of 1964, at age 20, he said, “Mom, I’d like to go to Mississippi.” The Mississippi Summer Project was to flood the state with hundreds of northern college students. The volunteers would form “freedom schools” to teach AfricanAmericans about their voting rights. It was called “one of the most ambitious civil rights projects yet.” The violence against blacks had never stopped. In the previous seven decades, nearly 600 known killings had taken place in the state. But the reasons why part of me wanted Andy to stay were the same reasons he wanted to go. Only five percent of Mississippi’s halfmillion AfricanAmericans were registered to vote in 1960.
