Birds

a couple of days ago, i spotted a large moth resting on the inside of our porch screen, so i opened the door and, snapping the screen with my fingers, sent it on its way. it flew in its wild moth pattern toward a nearby tree, and a small bird shot down from the sky and proceeded to chase it. the moth zig-zagged and swirled successfully for a few moments, but then the bird caught it and shot back over the roof of our house to wherever it was going.

our house wrens' babies hatched last week. can you hear them cheeping?
