“No amount of self-improvement will ever make up for a lack of self-acceptance.” - Dr. Robert Holden
Mr. Song sparrow seems to fully accept himself!
Hello friends! March is in full swing with her ups and downs and varying moods. I feel so lucky to be out walking with the little birds as they gear up for nesting or migrating and to occasionally spot a new migrant in the mix. Here are some favorites for today:
When they built that fence this winter I though it looked like a perfect perch for an owl, and now this lovely bird sits on it most mornings.
The deer are so busy. I wonder how you can tell if a doe is pregnant? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that I could tell.
The squirrels are digging out the last of what they stashed away and looking forward to new food sources.
Winter wren, ready for take-off.
I always wonder which goldeneye will be the last I see until fall.
And there she goes. Even in the dark they won’t stay and hang out with me long.
More snow geese passing overhead.
The killdeer have arrived and are wasting no time. Just before this he and another killdeer were doing that thing the birds and the bees do.
If any bird is more skittish than goldeneyes, it is green-winged teal. I got one shot and these two were gone.
I love my little junco friends. They will leave soon too.
Found a swamp sparrow playing peek-a-boo.
Flickers play peek-a-boo too.
Still finding a few seeds that are just ready to fall.
May you plant more seeds of self-acceptance this week. Take good care friends!
