The One That Got Away
Part 2
by LeAnn R. Ralph

Page: 1 2

"Randy! Come here!" I shouted.

My husband almost overturned his chair in his haste to get up. "What's the matter?"

Nothing. Put your coat on. You've gotta see this.

Randy worked nights, so he had been sleeping all day. For him, late afternoon was like everybody else's early morning. In a few minutes he came outside. "It's not very warm out here," he muttered. "What is it I 'have to see?'"

"This," I said, walking down the shoveled path toward the cedar tree.

In the meantime, several more chickadees had joined the first one. I put some seeds in my hand and propped my arm on a branch.

What ARE you doing?

"Watch," I said.

And sure enough, in a little while a chickadee landed on my glove, took a sunflower seed and flitted back to his branch to eat it.

Randy's mouth popped open in surprise. "Let me try that," he said.

Soon the chickadees were taking sunflower seeds from Randy's hand as well.

Then we decided to try it without our gloves. Didn't matter to the chickadees. Their wire-thin feet clasped our bare fingers just as easily as they had gripped our gloves.

After that, Randy tried putting some sunflower seeds on the bill of his cap. At first the chickadees seemed perplexed by the situation, but finally one brave little soul tried it. Hooking his tiny feet around the brim, he took a sunflower seed and flew off. Once the others saw their leader had come to no harm, they decided to give it a try. The best part came, however, when Randy put some seeds on top of his cap. I never in my wildest imagination thought I would see my husband with a chickadee sitting on top of his head.

Quick," Randy murmured, barely moving his lips, "get the camera.

I inched around the corner and zipped into the house.

"Where is it?" he whispered when I came back outside a few minutes later.

Ummm...ahhh...well...we're out of film.

If Randy hadn't had a chickadee perched on his head, I'm sure his reaction would have been more forceful.

Oh, sure," he hissed, "here I am with a chickadee sitting on top of my head and we don't have any film?

So, the next day I went to town and bought several rolls. Then we tried every trick we could think of to coax the chickadees into sitting on Randy's head again. Nope. Nothing doing. Absolutely not. They wouldn't even come within ten feet of us.

And here it always looks so easy in those commercials. Just load your camera, point, and shoot, they say.

Right.
