As I sit here by the window, eating sunflower seeds and reading civil procedure, I look outside at my bird feeder and the noisy finches that surround it. They flap and chirp around the feeder, snacking on sunflower seeds and raising hell, boys chasing girls and girls chasing boys in these amorous days of early summer. As I spit into my cup I have to wonder, which of us is wiser?
