[mou] Poky little redpoll

[Laura Erickson]

Just now I looked out at my feeders and what to my wondering eyes should 
appear but a Common Redpoll.  I'd heard about one elsewhere in Duluth this 
week.

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of 
birds.  There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of 
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.

                                 --Rachel Carson

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.  In both 
instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly 
unchanged.  And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of 
change in the air--however slight--lest we become unwitting victims of the 
darkness.

                                 --Justice William O. Douglas
