...a club-footed pigeon came hobbling about among the tables and I wanted to cheer.
We took Isaac and Nathaniel to the aquarium near the mountains, and at lunch we were outside near a creek. The waiter routinely threw ice water at the pigeons, who were very bold and would even land on our table (much to the delight of the children).
Did you ever get surrounded by birds?
Oh!
I lived across the street from a naturalist, and she once invited me to join her at sunset near a bat cave--she said it was a thrill to stand in the entrance and have thousands of bats suddenly flap by--they never, she swore, would touch me, so keen were their bat sensors.
I still regret that I didn't take her up on her offer. Too eerie for me.
