Pond's Edge

They turned on their hooves with white tails flagged and darted into the woods.  We'd entered their nature preserve, uninvited. Their warnings went unheeded as we continued past a frozen pond with a protruding log. Our eyes wandered along blue sky as we watched a crow swoop down and peck a red tailed hawk circling a tree. Upon turning our heads we watched twenty robins gather in a tree beside a semi frozen pond. They flew from their perches to drink along the pond's edge.
