Where are the birds?

I took Conner and Pepper for a walk today.

I've driven in the car twice today.

Pepper has been extremely hyper today, panting and jumping around. He is usually hyper but today he seems to be above his average hype. Even though he's been out of the house three times today and been given his many bones/treats he seems driven to sit and stare at me while panting and nervously moving about.

Then as I am driving Conner home he says to me "where is the bird?".

Leave it to a three year old to get your mind whirling around and starting to wonder!

Where are the birds today?

We normally have a numerous amount of these large black raven birds flying about and cawing. We normally have several grey mourning doves around our house, sitting on roof tops and looking for bird seed.

I have not seen ONE of either of these birds today! I've hardly seen any birds at all today!

Jim took a large bag of vegetable scraps to give the squirrels and as he waited to watch them run out to eat as they usually do in a group of 4-5 of them it took several minutes before one came creeping out to see what there was to eat.

Do they know something that we don't know? Should I start packing up my belongings and dig an underground shelter? Should I find a safe place to hold on to?

Or are they all just simply taking the day off and relaxing in their nests!
