Overtones

I heard a bird at break of day
Sing from the autumn trees
A song so mystical and calm,
So full of certainties,
No man, I think, could listen long
Except upon his knees.
Yet this was but a simple bird,
Alone, among dead trees.

William Alexander Percy

Thanks for the bird poem. The photo is good too, I like the triangulation.

A Junco came to my very urban feeder yesterday. I seem them bouncing around the woods when I'm tramping but I guess I am putting the right see in to have them join me in Balitmore.
