If you ever feel as if you are being knocked about by life, think about the amazing bird called the Water Ouzel. I can’t imagine this waterbird knows what it is to have a ¡¡1¡¡ day. The little creature is often found living next to ¡¡2¡¡ waterfalls and rivers rushing fast. And however threatening the weather, however ¡¡3¡¡ the water, in snow and rain, the tough and cheerful Water Ouzel can be ¡¡4¡¡ chirping and singing. What’s more, while the ¡¡5¡¡ of most songbirds, however melodious in warm weather, fall ¡¡6¡¡ over long winter months, the hearty Water Ouzel ¡¡7¡¡ on through all seasons and every kind of ¡¡8¡¡. I have to wonder: does this little creature know anything I don’t?
