No, mem, it was really a tiny bird--but chunky...the size you could cup in your palms. (We have mourning doves here, so I know what they look like.)
I know I have seen a bird like this before here in New England throughout the year (so it doesn't head south for the winter.) I just don't know what its name is. But his variety is very sweet, and I got the feeling it was a song bird, too (meaning, to me, that it has a distinctive and pretty song.)
If birds in scrying mean the same as birds in tarot (messages forthcoming), then I'll keep that in mind.
I was just so surprised to have seen anything because I have tried on occasion before and got nothing!
