Yay to art over cars! I was watching little sparrows while out walking this morning. There were several fluttering ahead of me, each stopping to perch in the opening of a chain link fence. How amazing to be so body aware, to know you can fit precisely into such a small opening.
I spent the last couple weeks at a residency in the great Oregon Outback. In addition to range cattle, I saw cottontail rabbits, pronghorn antelopes, evidence of coyotes. The local wildlife refuges were overflowing with dozens of types of bird—pelicans, trumpeter swans, red winged and yellow headed blackbirds, avocets, and the first cedar waxwings I’ve seen in real life. And a lovely little red crested sapsucker who awakened me each morning at 5:00 am with his dulcet hammering on a drainpipe right outside my bedroom window.
I love the thought of sparrows slotting into the chain link fence as you walk by. Your residency sounds completely dreamy -- talk about more art less cars. And having a crazy little bird alarm clock, too (what a pretty bird, definitely a west coast friend). The other night I saw two bats, a bunny, and all the fireflies. Summer is great.
