“Rosemary looked, and stuttered in a shocked breath when she realized what Ellis was showing her. There, with its small round body, mottled brown and white feathers, and sooty black cap, was a willow tit.
Rosemary practically vibrated with excitement.
"I can't believe it," she whispered, pressing her forehead to the glass to get a better look. It wasn't the most remarkable garden bird, but she'd been hoping to see it for years, to complete her collection of tits.
"I've been leaving sunflower seeds in the feeder in the hopes it would come," Ellis whispered.
They stood there, looking out at the willow tit washing itself and Rosemary realized something: she was in love with Ellis Finch. She had carried this love with her each day, not knowing it by name, but letting it grow. Every action, everything he said to her had made it deepen and form. And all it took was the presence of this small songbird to make her realize it.”
Nadia El-Fassi, Love at First Fright

“Florence embodies what it means to love nature. We mustn't just enjoy the wild places and creatures that have our hearts. We must stand up, share what we know, and act to protect them.”
Jess Keating, Birdlore: The Iridescent Life of Florence Merriam Bailey
