Hunger

Hungry babies outside our living room window
decades ago in Phoenix, AZ.

A few times in the last nearly 22 years in our current home in Columbia, we have had birds nesting on our porch behind the light. This is one of those years (see photos below). We've always enjoyed the cardinals, robins, blue jays, sparrows, and myriad other birds on the ground and in the trees our present house affords. We awaken to their lovely songs in the early morning.

I especially like the cardinal's "pretty bird" notes and the mockingbirds varied calls. It's a joy to lie in bed and listen to God's creation waking up. As Mark Twain once quipped, better to say "Good morning, God!" rather than "Good god, morning!"

There appear to be two robin eggs
