Dream Birds

No, I don’t mean the objects of a long-sought birding expedition—that Steller’s Sea Eagle on the shores of Kamchatka, for instance. I mean birds seen in dreams. This morning I saw a Yellow Sandpiper on the patio just outside our bedroom back window. This bird is about the size of a Stilt Sandpiper, buffy above, but with yellow on its breast and under the wings. Pica keeps her own dream list; maybe I should start one.

  1. Heh. Joe does that sometimes, dreams of invented birds. I think he usually has species names for them too.

  2. I sometimes dream of birds, and they’re always rare birds than I ever see in real life. Actually, this post inspired a poem, which will hopefully appear on my blog in the next week, so thanks!
