Just like clockwork, the barn swallows are gone and the chimney swifts have replaced them, I'm sure heading there way south.  Was down there around 6:30.  American Goldfinches were everywhere feeding off the seeded thistles.  Saw an immature bluebird.  Not much else.  
   
  Off topic - but one of the calves got out of the pen and two Bath Twp. police cruises and some of us passerbys helped to get it back to the pack and with mama, who was moo-ing quite a raucous.

"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!
