This morning, my window open, I looked out at the ponderosas, fresh from last night's rain. I heard a bird call, it sounded like Ernie the Eagle! My ears triangulated on the sound and instead of coming from high above, it was from one of the trees. Then he showed himself. It was Peanut, a Steller’s Jay, giving a great Ernie imitation. He's a show off and sometimes clown, fun to watch, reminding me that we all need to find laughter.
