- Comments: "Maturing male low in tulip tree across the road and uphill from the inner end of ocean hill. Nearish catacombs. Not there long enough for a photo, however. Some blue on head, dynamic rusty and brown shoulder/wing, colored overall like soft light through tiffany stained glass, chunky gros-beak."




"There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for spring." — Rachel Carson


"Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?"
