The Benefits Of Birdwatching

Birds appear frequently throughout the story, especially in times of crisis. The birds often present themselves as omens for dangers that lie ahead. For instance, when Robert's team takes a wrong turn, "the fog is full of noises" of birds (80). Then the birds fly out of the ditch and disappear. Robert and Poole know that "[t]here must be something terribly wrong...but neither one knew how to put it into words. The birds, being gone, had taken some mysterious presence with them. There was an awful sense of void--as if the world had been emptied" (81). The birds return and when Robert nears the collapsing dike, "one of the birds [flies] up and cut[s] across Robert's path" as if it is trying to prevent him from going any further. Robert does not heed the warning and almost dies in the sinking mud.

These love birds symbolize Melanie and Mitch’s relationship. Through the film, all of the other bird attack and cause mayhem. However, the love birds remain calm and sweet just like their love. Their love is the only constant through the film and remains stable like the love birds. They are also the only birds at the end of the film to follow Mitch and Melanie. This portrays how their love for each other comes with them as they leave, but the insecurities they faced and turmoil they went through get left behind as their relationship has evolved. The birds represent the chaos and uncertainty that our relationships with others can cause us

Probably the most notable use of birds occurs when after ten years, Sula returns to the Bottom accompanied by a “plague of robins”(89). The word plague indicates that the birds represent a wave of sickness that Sula brings alongside her. The citizens of the Bottom recognize the birds as a sign of evil, but choose to accept its wickedness rather than try to rid of the robins. “But they let it run it’s course, fulfill itself, and never invented ways to either alter it, to annihilate it or to prevent its happening again. So also were they with people” (90). Here, Morrison is comparing the townspeople’s feelings both towards the evilness of the robins and towards the evilness of Sula. They welcome Sula’s return to the Bottom the same way they they welcome the birds. Sula’s personal experiences with wickedness are also acknowledged through the robins as Sula

The wetlands of spring welcomes migrating shorebird species, including sandpipers, stilts, plovers, dunlins, curlews, and avocets. The colors of summer come alive with an array of birds atop trees with beautiful sounds filling the air. These include black-chinned, calliope, broad-tailed, red-tailed hawk, white-crowned sparrow, tanager and rufous hummingbird. Cranes and geese make their appearance in early fall, coyotes, northern shovelers dabble on the water, javelina, and mule deer idle or prance about in the open meadow, and wild turkeys trek in their roosting

After watching them fly for half an hour, she starts to form a connection for the birds. The passage says, “I stood with great difficulty, bashed by the unexpectedness of this beauty, and my spread lungs roared. My eyes pricked from the effort of trying to trace a feathered dot’s passage through a weft of limbs” (Dillard 2). Dillard is surprised at what the birds are doing. At first the birds were moving slowly, and then all of a sudden, the birds started to move faster and faster into the woods. She stood there watching all the birds, even the stragglers, vanish into the trees. Dillard broke down after this. The birds caused her to change her views, and she feels as if she has to take care of them. They are a part of her

Nesting is vital to the repopulation to these birds, therefore building manmade nesting sights is a great possibility. The birds like higher tree to keep away from predators but if there were manmade prevention systems it would make many more places an opportunity to nest. Spreading the populations boundaries would increase the likelihood of increase.
