Yellow Warbler

Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia)

This morning I went to the window. I got there, opened the shades and think the following: Wow. What a beautiful -HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!

It turns out that this bird flew (crashed?) right at the window. I acted like a big pussy, for lack of a better word. You should have seen me. Actually no, you shouldn’t have. I jumped and my heart went from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds.

I crossed my arms and covered my face. All I knew was that some unidentified flying object was coming at me. The deep thump sound of the accident against the window pane made my body stiffen. I then ran to the balcony to see what the fuck just scared the shit out of me. Down below on the concrete lay the culprit. A little fucking bird. I was flushed, ashamed and laughed at my cowardly reaction to the whole thing. I deeply reflected on what a pussy I just proved myself to be for maybe 2, 3 long seconds.

I then naturally ran for the camera and ran down in chanqletas (flip-flops that did a lot of flopping) and smelling faintly of pussy. I was really surprised when I saw the little fellow. He was so bright and yellow. He must have looked quite uplifting when animated but now his limp body was on the ground, plumage lay to waste. I took a deep pensive breath and said; see that’s what you get for fucking with me. Then it was just a matter of deciding what film speed to use?
