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)

When Branco & I arrived at the pond this morning, these ducks were near the beaver lodge. When they saw us, the ducks flew to the opposite side of the pond and began exploring the pond edge.

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.
