I was sitting outside on our patio at 4:30 this afternoon, watching all the
bird activity at the feeders and at our water cascades/pool. I was wearing
green and tan clothing that allowed me to blend into the setting in the shade
near one of the patio birdbaths. A male scarlet tanager suddenly and silently
swooped down from a tree branch and landed on my knee. I sat perfectly still
as the scarlet beauty looked me over for several seconds. Through my
sunglasses I stared into his dark beady eyes. Then, perhaps realizing that I
was a living creature, the tanager flew off as suddenly as he had alighted.
This was definitely one of those once-in-a-lifetime spiritual wild encounters!
