 Eastern Phoebe. Everywhere I go lately I see phoebes. Or hear them. Or watch them flit from perch to perch. Or admire how their tails flick up and down. Or look at their layered nests on ledges or porch lights, protected from the rain. Or peer up at the beaks of nestlings ready to fly.
The world is improved by the presence of phoebes.

 Eastern Phoebe. This warm morning
I happened to see
a little female Ruby-throated Hummingbird
zip up to the iris patch
out my kitchen window
and hover a while.
Not long after,
on the way to our morning hike,
Jack and I both caught site of a young deer
—a yearling, looked like—
bounding gracefully
over hedgerows and across fields
right along side of us,
keeping pace for a couple hundred yards.
Fun for us both.
Then we saw a turkey.
Nature’s little gifts.
