-- ruby crowned kinglet
-- blue gray gnatcatcher

and the rest of the usuals...
A quick walk up Dike Road this morning

-- common yellowthroat
-- warbling vireo
-- eastern kingbird

"Look at the birds..." Matthew 6:26
I look at the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward to our Creator. I look at them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day–the invocations and the benedictions to God Himself. I look to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear. And that God's eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!
