Not a silk
purse, but a purse nest finely woven by a pair of bushtits.
Light, water, and mud create a fine effect at low tide in the
rookery lagoon.

In springtime, three's a crowd a male Canada goose with
head lowered wants no competition for his mate. It took him several
minutes to convince the rival to am-scray.
.
A mini murder mystery: What would account for a dead mole, showing
no signs of poor health, in the middle of the trail (the third
such corpse I've encountered recently)? The solution (alas): power
lawnmowers.
