Along the way

Know how when you’re flyfishing, sometimes you work a fish in and when you release him, he’s worn out, so he’ll just hang out in the water next to your foot until he gets everything back in order? Sometimes it takes twenty minutes. Well, working in the coach on a Friday, warm weather, door open, a junco flew in. He fluttered about, then knocked himself silly on the windshield trying to get out. But we bird like we fish; catch-and-release. We held him for awhile, then set him outside in the shade till his bells stopped ringing. He hung out with us for about twenty minutes and finally flew away.

Pink sided junco.
