Larnell Harris sings “His Eye is on the Sparrow.” youtu.be/n3OdGDzyFV8?si=Q4rYXQP7Co3Zn8Fz

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:29–31)

Bruce Dean (Puchinpappy) has posted:

A welcome visitor dropped in on our usually quiet backyard in January. An American Robin and seven of his friends visited us. This one never flew south as it is way too early to be looking for worms. We have had very little snow this winter but up the nearby mountain they have snow up to their armpits.

For SSC Solitude.

British Columbia near the 49th parallel.

If you look closely, this Tree Swallow is about to eliminate a bug. I almost deleted this sequence on my camera card until I noticed why the bird had darted off the wire it was resting upon. I never thought I would get a hunting photo of these quick-moving acrobats.
