October 2: Sparrow
Kristen Lindquist
Walking into my office this afternoon, I was inordinately pleased to hear the call note of a white-throated sparrow from the bushes that border the lawn. For one brief moment I stepped out of work mode and was back on Monhegan, surrounded by the calls of migrating birds... including many white-throated sparrows.
Such power in the chip
of a sparrow,
to summon memory.
