In the dappled light of the canopy, a female blackbird pauses, alert and observant. Her gaze is fixed upward — perhaps on a tempting cluster of berries, or a rustle among the leaves. She is cautious, for every movement in the forest carries meaning. For now, she waits. Silent. Still. Watching the world unfold from her leafy vantage point.
