She's mad birds seem to be dying, possibly indirectly related to fish deaths. She's still mad about a wave of crow deaths over a decade ago. But, mostly, Lorraine is mad at the lack of madness.
She makes speeches. She phones lazy, and now corrupt, legislators. She is ignored. What has happened to passion? What has happened to our country? To her daughter's consternation, Lorraine disappears during a protest march. Perhaps Lorraine's favorite birds-blue jays-can fill in these blanks.
