埃塞克斯的乌鸫

埃塞克斯的乌鸫,北半球的一月底正值隆冬时节，非常寒冷。在意大利的民间传说中，一月的最后三天是一年中最冷的日子，这几天也被称为“乌鸫日”。当地有一个有趣的传说，解释了乌鸫的黑色羽毛从何而来：为了在意大利北部寒冷冬天里保护幼鸟，一只长着白色羽毛的鸟妈妈在烟囱里筑巢。原本是白羽的鸟宝宝孵出来后，它们的羽毛便因烟囱的煤烟而变成黑色。从那天起，这种鸟便得名乌鸫。

Blackbird in Essex, United Kingdom

The end of January in the Northern Hemisphere can be quite cold, as it is near the midpoint of winter. One local legend gives a fun take on how blackbirds got their dark feathers: To protect her young chicks from the cold Northern Italian winter, a mother bird with white feathers built her nest in a chimney. After her once-white chicks emerged, their feathers had turned black from the chimney’s soot. Essex is a ‘home county’–one of the five counties that surround London, England. The area was settled during the Iron Age before the arrival of Romans. ‘Blackbird‘ is a song from The Beatles’ ‘White Album’, and features Paul McCartney on vocals and guitar.
