A Sparrow Lesson

What a beautiful White-throated Sparrow. I love it.

Here is a great lesson from history. We learn a lot from history. This has something for people with crazy ideas on how to respond to 'climate change' and even our medical community. Bonus: It's about sparrows too.

In 1958 Mao Zedong ordered all the sparrows to be killed because they ate too much grain. This caused one of the worst environmental disasters in history.

A Lot of Gold

The American Goldfinch are super active .. and we are seeing a lot of them. These two wanted their photo take, so I did.

Eastern Comma

We saw this Eastern Comma butterfly this week. Since the temps have dropped we are not seeing them now, buty it was great to see this one.

A Patient Hawk

It has been a while since we photographed a Broad-winged Hawk. This one surprised me by how long she allowed us to take pictures. We were close and moving .. she didn't take off. Beautiful bird.
