Miracle

The Canyon Wren that for the last few weeks had been walking in the front door of the lodge and hanging around for 15 to 30 minutes every day disappeared in a flurry last week. Tom saw it walk out the front door, saw a gray blur swoop onto the front porch, heard a thud and bird scream, and the Wren disappeared. Outside Tom found 10 to 15 feathers spread around. This morning Tom stepped onto the front porch and the Wren bounced around for five or ten minutes and then walked inside again just like he owned the place. If there's a crazier bird than the Canyon Wren, Tom hasn't seen it.
