Heron Lake Plateau thanks, I hate it

Phox thanked her and promptly conked out. They made quite the family portrait, all snuggled up together. Towhee smiled fondly at the scene, though the instant movement caught her eye, her face transformed into a fearsome snarl. It was a heron winging past, headed for the lake. The Beta's hackles settled as her orange gaze tracked it across the sky.

It would be a while before X returned and even if he were to show up earlier than expected, Towhee didn't want to disrupt the family's rest. She settled in for a long wait and a silent vigil. It would probably be downright boring, yet that's exactly what she hoped for.
