morning, cardinal contact call. chip chip chip, answer chip chip. another call, chip chip chip chip, answer chip chip chip. until long return pause,
then repeat call CHIP chip chip, repeat.
answer long series of chips, alarm? birds take to the trees, and other cover.
ten minutes, they begin to return and go back to baseline.
until i get up to do qi gong. then,
quiet questioning chirps from above my head, watching what i'm doing.
after awhile, they settle back to baseline while i carry on.
enough to warrant their attention. i've been doing it outside for a few days, so they're getting accustomed.
