Viewed the great egret fishing in the water — it’s white form reflecting
Listened to a great horned owl cry in the distance
Took a picture of a downy woodpecker upside down tap tap tapping
Chanted while two great blue herons flew over our head
Noticed our first rufous-sided towhee in the green underbrush with tinges of autumn gold
Observed sparrows playing in the trees quickly flying making it difficult to identify
Paused to look at a ruby crowned kinglet stare into the sky
The woods, the birds, the silence, the sanctuary of nature — my home.
