American Robins are fairly large songbirds with a large, round body, long legs, and fairly long tail. Robins are the largest North American thrushes, and their profile offers a good chance to learn the basic shape of most thrushes. Robins make a good reference point for comparing the size and shape of other birds, too.
“Storm-waiting”
You are silence on the branch
outside my front window – you and your beloved,
hidden one.
You shrieked all morning,
calling me to the window, bewildered.
You are silence on the branch
in the storm-waiting air.
Occupied now with waiting,
we sense the approaching storm.
You have disappeared into this vast,
eternal,
rich,
full – moment of waiting.
The air. You. Me.
We are full-of-waiting.

Love the poem — I can see him outside your window. In how many moments of our lives is our reality “full-of-waiting”?
