The Mysterious Yellow Bird

Yesterday evening I had the briefest glimpse of a new bird. It was sitting on the yucca in front of the office window, where the orioles often sit, and I was recalling Hugh commenting recently on how very yellow Mrs. Scott is while I gazed at this yellow bird, and I suddenly realized that this bird was not a Scott at all. It was quite yellow, no black or brown on the parts that I could see, and was gone by the time I ran into the other room and back with the camera. I will watch for it again. There seem to be many new varieties this year—or is it, as I was wondering similarly with the woodpeckers, that I am noticing more, as I am way less stressed out now that I don't have a job that sucks all soul and energy from me? (The other G&S alumni understand this, I know. Kisses to you!)

This yellow bird was the size of the Scotts; it was definitely far larger than the finch family. It was reminiscent of the interloper birds of a few days ago—coincidence?

Brief heart attack of joy for a moment when I thought you might have quit, G! Is one an alum if one is still there? In any case, I adore you. More kisses.
