Redhawk Caldera waxwing

All welcome, but maybe @Sylvie and/or @Eagle?

Crane was not very brave. Sometimes, even her shadow could appear in the corner of her eye and give her such fright that it stole her breath. That was why today was a special day. She kissed @Chickadee on the cheek and crept out of the den at sunrise, following various glimmers of light until she came upon a pile of leaves. She had recently learned that hiding things was fun, and she wondered what would happen if she hid herself. She crept in and waited, unaware that her ears were poking out of the top of the pile.
