What do you see?
For all this spring has not been, it has been a bird-lover's paradise!
We are enjoying a rainbow of feathered flurry!
Here are a few shots from the past 24 hours...

and this small bird below is an immature female oriole!
(who new, birds have immature females too. 😅 )
My pics are not perfect due to shooting through a screen and tot-smudges on the window and a camera that has trouble focusing but you get a bit of an idea what fun we are having!
There are many varieties of sparrows visiting as well!

We all came and looked and saw
Criticism found the flaw
Love found hope and beauty’s bloom
Misery saw trouble loom
Thankfulness sang joyfully
Self-pity cried ‘woe is me’
Fear saw the approaching night
Faith was awe-struck by the light
Greed saw little to amaze
Worshipers were filled with praise
