At virtually any time of the day or night on Rabbit Lane, I can hear birds singing or cawing or screeching or chirping. This evening, as the sun set over the Great Salt Lake, I heard Ravens, Red-winged Blackbirds, an American Kestrel, House Sparrows, and House Finches. Opening our ears to the sounds of birds is enriching enough, but opening our hearts to their beauty is a meditation, an uplifting of the soul, a catharsis. Do you listen to the birds singing around you?
LISTEN
Listen!
A robin! A robin!
Chirping on the branch.
A king bird! A king bird!
Whistling on the fence post.
A finch! A finch!
Twittering on the feeder.
A lark! A lark!
Singing in the meadow.
A dove! A dove!
Cooing in the morning.
A snipe! A snipe!
Tumbling through the evening sky.
An owl! An owl!
Screeching from the snag.
Can you hear them, too?
