I often wake to the sound of the coffee maker gurglling…
As the moments pass the aroma finds me…
I learned one morning why she’s up and sitting by the window…
I had wondered why she chose to sip her coffee there…
One morning I quietly went to another window to see…
At first all I could see was a couple of gray wooly tails…
Squirreling around looking for seeds and whatevers…
A moment later the first Morning Dove joined them…
Followed by more all around the Sycamore and dim morning light…
One bush in the yard was decorated with Cardinals…
A number of female Cardinals wandered around the yard…
Pecking at the ground as the Sun continued to rise…
I’m not sure how long I stood there…
At least a dozen other birds joined them…
Tiny little things compared to the Doves…
I was left speechless…
A moment of true harmony in nature without humans…
A few days later I played dumb and joined her…
With a kiss upon the head…
I did steal a few moments online…
To learn about birds in our area…
