SAVANNAH SPARROW APPROACHABLENESS
At St. Catharine National Wildlife Refuge just south
of Natchez this week I was way out on a levee barely
rising above vast, silvery-surfaced, flooded fields on
both sides of me. I was the most conspicuous feature
on the landscape for miles around, so maybe that’s why
a certain little sparrow came to run and hop along the
water’s edge beside me as I hiked down the levee.
