They know long before it's evident to us that something ominous is lurking. The sea speaks to them, and your lines speak to me... well written.

I enjoyed reading your powerful "westward wind" write/picture. Yes, birds become silent. "Good Luck"  I did, "Western Winds Blowing." Have a blessed/great day writing away.............
