Birthday Lifer!

Up the mount I went
Third time to try for this bird
A birthday lifer!

Finally! Whiskered Pittas!

Hiked the muddy trail
I said I won't climb again
Up and up I went




We sat and waited
'Twas a lesson in patience
And then, there they were




The best birthday gift
Is of time, birds, and flowers
My heart is happy
💕
