“The day's tragedies had begun; the east was warm with color, and streamers of light were woven through the clouds; but I thought that, somewhere near me, the mocker's' mate was sitting on her nest, and that somewhere, further away, there were young hawklings who, also, have a right to life.”

“It was a bird, a small hawkling. A baby. And as she watched, it began to stretch its wet, feeble wings.”
