Grackles squabble and squawk outside my window. Their aggressive behavior is supremely irritating, second only to the garish clash of patterns on their feathers. They monopolize the feeders, chasing other birds away and arguing with those who contest their dominance. Their incessant activity and noise drills into my brain vying with the news of my mom’s cancer recurrence. If only I could attach this knowledge to those striped and dotted feathers and see them fly away. I would slam the window up, clap my hands and scream to send them on their way and pray that they never returned.
