pheasant

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


early morning -
a pheasant hollers
right above me



There were two of them in two groves opposite the valley, having a long conversation right across space, even outmouthing the crows today.

And then the one in the bushes near my home took off to meet the friend over there, and flapped right above me, hollering all the way, with his most unusual silouhette and flapping wings against the light morning sky !

A scene of wonder indeed !
