Deceitful

The Crow parents left little Whippersnapper in the care of the Face of Everyman; assuring him that they would be right back. That was two days ago. Had they just forgotten that their little fledgling was waiting and hungry. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa mounted rescue team was organized and sent out to search for the deceitful parents.

Food Bank

There was a minor dust up at the Food Bank this morning as the Crow Family, new to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa, bullied their way to the head of the line. Few songbirds protested; leaving it to the Face of Everyman to sort out. To assuage the crowd; everyone got an extra ration of peanut butter.

Screamers

The nearby nest of Crows was going to prove a problem for the Face of Everyman. Newly hatched chicks required an inordinate amount of food. Although the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was lush; the parents were hard put to keep the bottomless pits of the babies stomachs full enough to prevent them screaming for more.

Tap Dancing

Sylvia was a real show stopper. Seen below preforming at an annual Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa fund raiser she is doing her signature number: Tap dancing to the tune of Sweet Georgia Brown.  the Face of Everyman always liked it when the guests gave a standing ovation.  IMG_0390 (2)

Try Outs

Melissa tried out for the Follies Review every year when scouts booked into the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  In as much as there was no ice rink, nor ice in mid-August, contestants were judged on their grace in free form flight.  the Face of Everyman acted as agent and talent scout for all regional songbirds. He felt it was the least he could do.IMG_0385 (2)

Election Day

Early election results had been tabulated for the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  Timothy, Precinct Captain, is seen flying to county election headquarters with the results.  the Face of Everyman could have phoned them in but he recalled the disaster of the Iowa Caucus. IMG_0733 (2)

Cousins

Cousins abound in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Little Ramona stopped by to say ‘Howdy’ to the Face of Everyman and dropped a hint that she was related to a very famous and beloved animated fawn.  The venerable sage caught the essence of her remarks and easily led her to divulge all.  Her Mom scoffed at such nonsense.IMG_0876 (2)

Scorched Earth

A plague of Pigeons descended on the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa; their numbers three times the resident flock.  Was this the realization of the Face of Everyman’s worst nightmares?  These rogues practiced a true scorched earth policy. No seed was left behind.  IMG_0010 (2)

Buffet

The new government policy of Urban Renewal caught many off guard not least of them  the Face of Everyman.  He dimly remembered endless meetings on a scheme to harvest much of the vast forests of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa; but this looked more like slash and burn.  To quell unrest among the guests he ordered a lavish buffet be served.IMG_0321 (2)

Kick Boxing

Thai Kick Boxing became the new martial art between male songbirds seeking supremacy in the breeding arena.  These contests were new to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa; the Face of Everyman was quick to see a source of revenue in this sagging economy. IMG_1039
