wild birds
Categorylady kingfisher
Sharp bill splitting the air in front of her, the female belted kingfisher flashed past me.
watchful
Pied-billed grebes would rather dive or run on the water to escape problems than to fly.
This immature grebe carefully watched me but made no attempt to flee.
to soar
I ached to grow wings and join these two immature bald eagles as they played in the heavens above me.
hint
Sometimes in the blaze of light that is autumn, a moment appears that hints at the promise of the coming spring.
pensive kinglet
I wanted to turn my head and see what held the attention of the tiny golden-crowned kinglet but dared not or he might startle away.
