A.F. Lane

During late fall I will often find little birds, like this one, on the sidewalk. I am not sure what it is that kills them, maybe it is simply the quick change in season that does not allow sick or weak birds to survive. I walk about a mile and a half to work and sometimes see two unfortunate birds in one walk. It is a fast reminder that winter is coming. This one was on my door step about a month after my grandmother past. Maybe it was a curiosity about how I was handling my resent loss, I am not sure, but something encouraged me to keep the bird in my freezer.
