List of birds observed in my yard, Spring 2020
There are a number of large old trees in my yard, and while working from home over the past few months I've been able to observe all of the local wildlife more closely. I was never a birdwatcher before, but lately I've been awed by the variety of birds who live here or are passing through. It's a lovely respite from daily stress, or even just all the Zoom meetings, to look up and watch the birds.
This is a performance of Minuet in G played remotely on and recorded live using Zoom.

COVID-19 JOURNAL #4 WORLD AT MY WINDOW Life in abundance comes to my window every day. I am not alone. "Beauty before me; with it I wander” (from a Navajo poem.) I look up from my desk and it can be a bluebird, an Oriole, a Grosbeak, an indigo bunting, goldfinches, catbirds, downies--I've seen 22 different species at the feeders this year--and that's only when I happened to be looking. Not only do they bring life and beauty, they bring immense relief from listening to the sad, frustrating, and infuriating news bombarding us every day, all day. Not that one has to listen to it, but it is hard to avoid it altogether. Thank God for the hopeful, the compassionate, the inspiring counterbalances coming from those among us who actually care about and honor human life. Meanwhile, these lovely creatures carry on according to their design and nature, with never a protest, no politics involved.
