Fowl at play in Mountain City

Friends sat at our kitchen table recently talking about the most serious predicament: Mountain City subjected to presentation of an Interlocal Agreement by City of Kyle, engineered by Hays County, that would rip a massive chunk of Mountain City’s ETJ and give it to Kyle.

A brown-headed cowbird provided comic relief, pecking on the window. Oh, thank you, Mr. Cowbird.

Sometimes, birds peck at their reflection in a window, thinking they see competition for their sweetie’s affections.  Our Mr. Cowbird arrived weeks ago.  This gorgeous brown-headed fellow with metallic black body hangs around off and on all day every day. It seems he moves between the kitchen window and the office, depending upon where we go.
