Their confidence around me is growing. Today, when they were done eating and had settled in on the fence to groom one another, they were not at all perturbed by the rattling of the sliding glass kitchen door as I drew it back. I spoke to them as I stepped out on the porch, both of them looking toward me at the sound of my voice. They returned to their exchange of tendernesses almost immediately and remained on the fence for ten minutes or more while I photographed them.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
