Last November I filmed this near Yorkton Saskatchewan when out for a drive with our grandkids. Could my western Canada friends enlighten me as to what kind of birds these were??

It was nice of a wren to provide background music. When I finished, I realized there were a bunch of robins in the trees across the road 😊

This week I’ve finally been hearing the spring songs of birds who have been all but silent during the winter. There’s a beautiful steady constant about some things in nature.

Could hardly hold the phone camera steady from laughter as my grandson kept following my husband and undoing what he was shovelling. 😆

It’s National Flag of Canada Day today. The 5 living former Prime Ministers of Canada of differing political parties have united and urged us to proudly fly Canadian flags today. It’s a big deal. We truly love Americans but are not contending to be anything else but True North strong and free!

Wrens have only joined our yards in the last few years. I’m thrilled these tiny bundles of energy hang around in the winter and then do their jobs diligently (and very loudly) in the summer gobbling up all the bad bugs and caterpillars. Can’t wait to hear their distinctive springtime calls. Soon!

‘Toxic empathy’. Mercy for some, not all. If we love our enemies (not their ways) and love our neighbor as ourself (though they are not like us)….where’s the toxicity?
Maybe I have toxic empathy for squirrels. I keep filling this feeder knowing they are robbing me and the birds blind.

Dear Mr and/or Ms Hawk,
I know you need to eat. I have birds. But they are mine. Let me introduce you to a free all-you-need-to-eat buffet with all the trimmings. You can soar there in 30 seconds. Go there instead.

Many of us are stepping into 2025 with some admitted trepidation.
But two things are certain. There will be new mercies every single morning.
And there will be sufficient grace on every single step of the way.

He’s a beautiful bird in his own right, sitting next to my bird feeders….but this is not what I had in mind in ‘feeding the birds’.
