March is When the Blackbirds Build their Nests

Even in the winter it is possible to hear blackbirds singing (their song intensifies from January onward). They enjoy singing when the Sun is close to the horizon. Also on days with little rain. Their singing, however, follows a different pattern in cities. The lighting and traffic makes them sing even earlier in the morning, and sometimes all night long. We give them neither darkness nor silence.

... wakes me up in the dark at night to tell me things.
- Sebastià Alzamora

the nest of tears must be found on those sides
- Vicente Huidobro
