Move over spark bird and nemesis bird. Something else just flew into town. Or not?
And sometimes, when I'm in my nature park, I'll think - like yesterday -
"Haven't seen a cedar waxwing yet this year," and moments later there it
is, high atop a leafless tree. You're right, though. Thinking this is a
mental trick I can deliberately use to will a bird into view never works.
And sometimes they're present but not visible to my eyes or attention.
No matter. Every walk, every pause in nature is an opportunity for
quiet , curiosity and wonder. I saw a rose-breasted grosbeak
drinking from a stream weeks ago and, as always, it was thrilling.
Thank you for your words and beautiful photographs.
That is lovely to think about (especially the stream moment). This afternoon, I spotted a Phoebe or a pewee...not sure which...on a pine branch. It was simple, quick, and spontaneous. Thank YOU for this lovely comment!!!
Don't give up! Perhaps they are just a little later this year. Fingers crossed you have a prolonged visit. But, yes. In the meantime: wood thrush!
I was thinking that too. Maybe it is ME that is just too early!!!!! (And excited)
