CHAPTER 6 The Duck

Through the falling snow I could see the female Kingfisher standing on this same platform, now covered with three inches of snow. Motionless, she looked north. The last of the migratory birds to leave the area, this Kingfisher stood with her feathers fluffed against the cold as she waited for her partner, the one who had died in David’s arms weeks earlier. She and I waited in vain.
