a notebook that i began one summer in ysleta, tejas, ept. it continues east, following the course of el río grande~bravo to El Valle and into the gulf of méxico...
Hi Lee. It was really cool to hear then see that little great kiskadee up close. Then I saw a bunch more... funny how I hadn't noticed before then they all came at once though it's probably because I finally stopped running around and looked for them. Breathed. The recording I found online is calm... though the first little great kiskadee in my yard was lovely loud. :) I want to write a poem like that. Looks pretty but loud like a monkey.
It turned out to be a pretty good weekend. Went to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant and chowed down.
The bird sound reminded me of my "bird refuge" that I've tried to start---putting about four feeders in my backyard with sunflower seeds and other seeds they're supposed to like. I get some blue jays and some other brown birds I can't identify, but it's not the raging bird scene I'd hoped for. Maybe it takes time. Or, like you say (about breathing), maybe I need to look more closely.

How nice to wake up to that sound. Relaxing.

Hope you had a great b-day weekend.

I hope more arrive soon... they will.
