A baby Robin, Marash Boy said. A robin? At the foot of our porch stairs? It won't move. It won't peep. I think the heat has gotten to it. The second time in two weeks Marash Boy had seen this phenomenon on Maple Avenue. . . Let's bring it some water; maybe it will revive.
It didn't.
That is so sad!
ReplyDeleteI saw the same in front of my house. The heat wave must be doing them in. M.P.
DeleteDid you bury it? With pomp?
ReplyDeleteIt disappeared before I could gather the shovel to bury it! The neighbor's cat, perhaps? Or our neighborhood coyote? Nary a feather was left! Poor little robin . . .
