A few days ago, I watched an osprey try and balance high on a tree branch while holding his fish breakfast in his claws. Occasionally, the fish, still alive, would jerk, and the osprey, annoyed, would hit the fis...h repeatedly on the tree until it stopped moving.
This morning, as I pulled into the church parking lot, a hawk flew in low across the parking lot and settled on a tree branch, but, for whatever reason, he was perturbed and started flying from tree to tree, branch to branch, wings flapping as he tried to find the perfect perch, even as he was defeated by one bowing branch after another.
It showed me that even birds can have bad days, days when breakfast doesn't cooperate, when they just can't get comfortable on a tree branch. No one is immune.
