Last Fling

This morning, feeling somewhat "fallish", I sat outside on the back porch enjoying a few moments of birds and sunshine. Suddenly I saw a ruby-crowned kinglet doing a flyby of our birdbath. I came inside, hoping he or she would return once I was gone. In a little while, I saw the kinglet again but then suddenly there were two golden-crowned kinglets, a mature and immature, visiting the bath. Their little fire-crowns were brilliant as they groomed and bathed. I was thrilled, thinking that this may be the last time of seeing these little warblers this fall. A very special gift from the Universe this morning.
