Thoughtful Thursday: Broken Wing

[Juvenile Laughing Gull born of the Taylor Sound, Cape May, NJ colony. One of the last left in the colony, this one isn't going to make it. Most birds die in their first year of life, a hard truth indeed, but a truth nonetheless.]

"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."
- Langston Hughes
