You know they’re up to no good – planning a heist or a bird-napping.

Maybe if I go behind this branch she won't notice me...

That's better.

      I like him a lot, too – he was the first Swainson’s Thrush I saw this spring, and he seemed to spend a lot of time running from hiding spot to hiding spot.
