This week, the backyard bird feeders were teeming with activity. Sparrows, titmice, cardinals, doves, and finches. The usual. But there was one bird that particularly caught my eye. It looked like a sparrow, and I first noticed it by the unique way that it moved. Very much unlike the regular feeder attender, the House Sparrow. After snapping a few pictures and matching it with those in my bird guide, I discovered who the stranger was. Ah! A White-Throated Sparrow! A happy addition to my life list. This beautiful bird must have been passing through, for I haven't seen him since. Anyhow, I am most pleased that I had the chance to see this wonderful work of God. Also, it seems as though a pair of Goldfinches live nearby. They sit at the feeders, feasting, for hours at a time every day. Such strikingly colorful creatures. So beautiful.

I love how many birds we get to see up close because of the feeders BUT I don't like all the chipmunks the seeds have drawn to our yard... too many holes in the lawn! Maybe you should post something that convinces me that those little rodents aren't evil.
