Your Exuberant Song Raises Our Spirits
Reciprocal Nature prompt: “Breathtaking experiences of bird watching”
Little wren, you graced our yard three years ago. An inveterate squatter, you moved into our lamp post housing. You took up residence and created an entrance by pushing plastic sections apart.
You started your unique trilling at first light. You charmed us with such joyous music. Your stamina was impressive, for you sang all day long. You worked tirelessly, transporting little sticks into the light housing. The stack grew day by day. How many more could you cram in there?
Your singing attracted a female wren. She perched on top of a chain link fence, watching you closely. You wooed her with every fiber of your being.
You seemed to say, “Look at the nest I’ve built for you.”
She was shy, but stayed close in our yard. When she explored the wood chips for food, you joined her. You offered a moth, proving you were a good provider…
