Because irruption doesn’t adequately describe what’s going on...

I don’t put out a lot of feeders/feed, but the past couple of days I have seen unprecedented junco numbers. Easily 50 plus at my place, and on a drive up to Wells River and back on I-91 this afternoon there were groups of a dozen or (many) more that would take flight from the shoulder of the road every couple of miles. I’m sure I saw over 200 on a twelve mile drive.

Are other folks seeing crazy numbers like this?

It's not by chance that the dark center of human eye, the pupil, is actually an empty hole through which the world becomes known to us. Likewise, in a spiritual sense, the I is the empty center through which we see everything. It's revealing that such a threshold is called the pupil, for it is only when we are emptied of all noise and dreams of ego that we become truly teachable. -Mark Nepo
