No, not St. Francis the Milwaukee suburb, though it has some nice birding areas
... I mean the St. Francis who loved all living things. As some of you know, I
have been monitoring window strikes at the Milwaukee School of Engineering
Skyway for many years. Sunday I was thinking, "about time for Hermit Thrushes
to come through." Sure enough, Monday a likely candidate darted low across my
path and into the shrubbery near the Skyway. I started preaching to the bird,
exhorting it to be vigilant and not be seduced by the
oh-so-beautiful-but-deadly glass all around. To my surprise, it came out of the
shrubbery, walked a few steps on the pavement towards me, solidly planted its
little feet and peered intently at me while I finished my sermon, its tail
going slowly up and down the whole time as is so characteristic of the species.
I so hope it got the message!
