A couple of weeks ago Kaitlin and Torben were in their living room when they heard a thunk at the window. They looked and saw a snow bird dropping to the ground. They ran to the window to see if it was hurt and were relieved to see it was already up.
Then while they were watching, a hawk swooped down and carried it off.
Not all stories have happy endings. That’s why I keep looking and looking for ones that do.

Danger everywhere if you’ve not paying attention.
Yes I love happy stories be they real or novel.
🙂
that is so sad, survived the crash and snatched away at one time. it was probably fleeing the hawk when it hit the window.. life is sad and there are none, including humans and creatures that can escape it.. its also full of happy and joy, we just have to find it
Yes. It’s up to us. 🙂
It was a happy ending for the hungry hawk, though. All depends on perspective. I also do tend to sympathize with the underdogs, myself.
Me too!
We had a gamut of emotions, ending with “Nature.” I remember when we first got Tempi and she ran around the yard digging up toys we had no clue Montana had buried. I started to get sad that she was taking Montana’s toys, when Torben pointed out why shouldn’t she? I guess the same thing… the hawk needs to eat too.
Yes. :(. I will still keep looking for stories with happy endings to keep my spirits up. 🙂
…that is the way nature is.
Yes.
Somedays I loathe predators.
They’re necessary to keep populations in check. But it’s sad for the individuals being preyed upon.
It’s the cycle of life but I don’t like to see it.
Yes, same here.
Ouch.
Yes.
That is so sad.
Yes. 🙁
Oh my GOSH! Poor little thing. We have snowbirds (Juncos) come every winter. We have a large living room window that birds crash into. I need to put up a cardboard owl or something.
Life is complicated that way. 🙁
For those of us in Arizona, I think you need to use the term Junco to refer to the unlucky little bird. We mean something else when we say “snowbird”. :^)
Thanks.
Wisdom.
Yep.
Aw, poor little bird. It just wasn’t it’s day.
I know. 🙁
That’s horrible.
Yes.
so sad for the snowbird. I know this made them sad as well ..
Yes.
That is so sad. We are worried about the birds here because we have lots of icy conditions now and snow and bitter cold coming in tomorrow.
It’s a hard life!
