Finished brunch and the cleanup. Laundry in the machine and I'm watching an episode of Chopper Cops...and I am hearing this loud, pissed off sounding chirping coming from the deck. Our deck seems to be a meeting place (and community toilet) for lots of species of birds. So I am looking for this fairly large bird that seems to be giving the husband holy old hell for disturbing the peace (mowing the lawn). I finally find him sitting on my hanging chair. He was a tiny light brown bird (maybe a tiny bit bigger than a hummingbird) with a pinkish head and a little darker red on his back. He usually hangs with the robins in the pines between our neighbor's yard and ours. He has a mate around somewhere, I've seen them on the deck before. Today he's ticked off. Took off before I could get a picture of him.
