Back in early December I wrote about “winter finches” and a type of migration called irruption, during which birds move in response to a lack of resources.These irruptions are irregular, not annual, and sometimes don’t occur for several winters.

Iwas deep in REM sleep, and I felt a tugging on my shoulder. Then I heard a voice off in the distance: “Joel, it’s 5:30 p.m., please warm up the grill and cook the burgers for dinner!” I groggily woke up; “I’m on it!” I’m often rousted from a nap, as I often nap!
