the distractions of spring
I'm trying to work on a blog entry for work about Portland's latest accomplishment (Platinum, suckas!), but it's springtime, and the sun's out, and suddenly the side yard along the hops hill is ... infested. Here's what i wrote my mum, looking for some guidance - i'll take anyone's input, though.
...as long as your input is not "it's gaggle. Not gangle, gaggle." Or along similar lines.

There's little crowd of birds pecking around in the side yard and i really wish i knew what they were!
They're mid-sized, black to brown, speckled with white on top and with a touch of iridescence. Their beaks are long and bright yellow, and their legs also seem relatively long and bright pink. Any ideas? There were 25 or so, pecking through the grass.
Oooh! And now there's a little brown one with a dandelion-yellow cap and chin! The similar-sized but yellow-less one must be the female.
Two pairs! and...there they go! My but this is distracting!
Good grief! Now there's a little troop of salmon-bodied ones with brown wings. They're not sticking around, though.
