animal sightings

Three birds taking flight as I drove by --

Great arced wings curving through the air -- the first bird white, the second black, the third white again. . . .

It took me a moment to think -- a gull, a crow, and another gull.

And there was an jellyfish out front.  The sun had gnawed away under a icy top, so it spread wider than the column of snow holding it up, and icicles dripped off the edge -- when it snowed, so the top and the icicles were alike white against the grimy snow, it looked perfectly like a jellyfish.

Haunting. You have a way with descriptions.
