Special Delivery!

  Every once in a while you get a front seat to a special event.  And when Nature is putting on the show, you can bet it is going have all the elements of a modern theatrical production.  Oh, and an Encore!  But we’ll talk more about that later.   
   This show played out in the parking lot of the building where I work.  It lasted about a month.  It’s an interesting  location, but I’m told that the characters return every year for a repeat  engagement.  How’s that for dedication to your craft?

ACT 1:  Boy meets Girl.

---

  She enjoys his company and sneaks back to see him often.  He eagerly awaits her arrival.   

  They must hit it off, because Girl decides he is The One and she gets to work making a happy home. 

ACT II:  The long wait.  
  She sits.

  And sits.  And sits.

  He works hard to keep himself occupied while he waits.

  It's a long wait.  She's always checking to make sure everything is just right.

  Here, she sends a warning out to those who might disturb her happy little nest.  She need not worry.  This grass will not be mowed until she has moved on.

---

  It's almost time!

ACT III:  They're here!

ACT IV:  Last call.

  The long wait is over!  Daddy returns and is reunited with his new family.  But the celebration is short.  Knowing the babies are at risk in such a public location, he quickly gathers everyone and they begin the process of moving to a new home.  .

---

  Just like that, they took their show on the road.  We are left to wonder how the next act would play out.   What would become of them?  Where do they go?  Would we ever see them again?  
   The hallmark of any great performance:  always leave the audience wanting more.  So the story goes, right?     
  Except, there is more.  One more.

  One egg left behind.

  Tune in next week to see our special Encore performance of Boy Meets Girl.
