Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear?

Lovely…. don’t forget Jonathan Franzen’s last novel “Freedom” which has a lovely cerulean warbler on the cover and in the story too.
Ok….I just figured out why I was humming “Close to You” while reading your excellent post. 🙂
This made me think of a favourite short-story collection, Lorrie Moore’s Birds of America.
