[mou] Another Goldfinch Story...

[Laura Erickson]

I bet it thought the bird house was a feeder.  There are so many designs
of hanging feeders with perches that the goldfinches who investigate all
of them are the ones most likely to find a lot of food.

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. 
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the
winter.
