(a reminder from wild things)
There is a tendency for living things to join up,
establish linkages,
live inside each other,
return to earlier arrangements,
get along, whenever possible.
This is the way of the world.

crafting a rural spirit
Is that a herd of grackles? They stopped off here on their way North just a few days ago, filling my neighbor's tall oak tree with their creakings and squeakings. If it's a crowd of crows, it's probably the darker side of nature...they gather together to harass owls or hawks. (A tundra owl was spotted here in Washington this week!...he/she first came to the attention of observers because he/she was being mobbed by crows.)
ReplyDeleteoops...meant a Snowy Owl! (i'll have to give my birders license back for mis-speaking!)
