Hello Roger You are not alone. I too have bird dreams, sometimes quite regularly. It seems to depend a lot on how often I am going birding at the time -that is real birding, in real time. I even started to put a list of dream birds together. The list was becoming so long I was losing track of what was seen and what was not. Mine weren’t morphing like yours, however. And I don’t believe I ever had one calling. Maybe tonight I can conjure up another…, a new bird for the list, and even have it calling. Are we geeks…..?, probably. Michael

Just last week, I had a flock of Pacific Baza sitting on my porch railing asking to be fed. When I was getting ready for work…some hours later… I heard a Olive Oriole doing a Baza imitation…ah ha. This morning, Wonga Pigeons were morphing into Brown Cuckoo-Doves, then into Brush Cuckoos into Channel-bills, quite psychedelic actually…then I found myself yelling at the cat and telling him to let the Owlet-nightjar alone as “muppet” had as much right to be on the lamp shade as he did at the end of the bed. I am now debating whether or not to tick King Parrot for the year yard list. King parrots are far from rare, but I almost never seen them in the yard and have not had one this year. I am “certain” I heard one this morning…or did I? Does anyone else dream in bird?
Full disclosure: This note intended is to start a non spam / cat (really…again)? thread
Cheers,
