Bird Calling and Wisdom

Once again, Pauline was delighted with the bird book. As we listened to bird calls from the species Pauline would select, she was stimulated cognitively and asked if I had ever known anyone that could identify bird sounds. After telling her about my aunt’s skills, Pauline observed, “Some gifts are not gifts but actually a result of hard work and practice. You must be engaged in what you are trying to learn.”
