Wings in Flight

Be like the bird in flight . . . pausing a while on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, yet sings knowing yet, that she has wings. 
 ~ Victor Hugo

A Blue-headed Vireo spreads his wings.

Amazing Wings

This mockingbird was putting on quite a display for me!

Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.- Victor Hugo
