Slim Pickings

An arctic outbreak engulfed the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa in a blanket of snow. the Face of Everyman was pleased that his idea of using geothermal resources was keeping this bit of paradise warm. Although the songbird guests foraging for food came up with slim pickings.

Freeloaders

It wasn’t long before Mr. and Mrs. Crow heard about the new favorable seed put out for the songbirds. Crows had avoided the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa because the head chef had lost two stars in his Michelin ratings. But now things seemed different. the Face of Everyman tried to remain cordial to these freeloaders. What else could he do?

Bodega

Snow was forecast for the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Johnny Dark Eyes was granted a brief compassionate parole so that he could check on his Mother’s welfare. the Face of Everyman said that she’d gone south weeks ago. Johnny returned the box of chocolates to the FBRS Bodega for credit on his tab.

Avowed Killer

Lil’ #Magic was being driven mad by her lack of ability to bring down a songbird. Her glassy stare were ample evidence of her psychosis. the Face of Everyman knew that the simplest solution would be to remove the bell and collar. Alas, to what benefit would it be to allow this avowed killer to run loose in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.

Health Scare

Cheeky wasn’t sure that there was any point in remaining at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman had suspended serving the sumptuous buffet due to the recent health scare. Yet, something told him to keep his room key until things could be sorted out.

Jumbotron

From far and wide folks stopped by the Face of Everyman seeking assurances that the Jumbotron would be on by game time. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa prided themselves on having the latest in sports equipment.

Hard Times

Johnny Dark-eyes was back. He was astonished that the Kindly ‘ol Pensioner had suspended filling the feeders. Most songbirds had moved on to better forage. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was like a ghost town. the Face of Everyman blamed the pandemic on lack of tourist dollars. He knew that the front office didn’t want excuses; just revenue.

Mask Up

Chauncey had been difficult since birth. Always an obstreperous child; even with the freedoms found in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Now he has decided to not wear a mask; daring those who insist to fly up and put it on him. the Face of Everyman found no one eager to wrestle an angry wet bird.

Tryouts

Songbird singing tryouts began auspiciously on a sunny afternoon at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Mullard one of the oldest employees, was asked to be first. His repertoire was vast but he stuck with a few old favorites: “Ode to a Spring Morning” and “This be my nesting territory.” The judges gave him three nines; a score hard to beat. the Face of Everyman was pleased to see that festivities were off to a good start.
