		<description><![CDATA[Reincarnation as this owl &#8212; that&#8217;s what I want. Not merely to flaunt my aerial adroitness, fierce gaze, and stunning plumage. I like the idea of staying up all night and hooting from trees. I found the video here via a journalist whose work I admire. But James Fallow&#8216;s likening of owls to cats with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Movement outside the bathroom window. Peering through the blinds, I see a heron atop the neighbor&#8217;s garage. It&#8217;s scoping out the goldfish in our small backyard pond. Some are so large they&#8217;re often mistaken for koi. All are oblivious to the harbinger of death gazing upon them. To my eye, herons are stately creatures when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tufts of white fluff drift over my goldfish pond, on the way somewhere. Escapees from a cottonwood tree perhaps, fanning out on this cloudless and cool Portland morning. Another pastoral moment deep in the city. From my neighbors&#8217; century-old linden tree comes an incessant chirp. Beneath the shroud of limbs, I can&#8217;t see the bird [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our small backyard goldfish pond in Northeast Portland sparkles from its annual cleanup today.
