There were plenty of tiny birds in our garden today. The usuals–lots of siskins, juncos and American Goldfinches. The local BC Chickadee and Bewick’s Wren passed by. But then a couple little surprises: a Chestnut-backed Chickadee which I haven’t seen here in many weeks, and my first sighting of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet here. From inside the house I got these shots as he fed from one of our suet logs:

So important to notice every little beauty around us. And I agree, I’m sure the kinglet’s comments were profound and true. I loved that line, Harry! Kate
