Their race in Holy Writ should mentioned be."

Something to ponder: "The last word of ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: 'What good
is it?' If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not.
If the biota, in the course of aeons, has built something we like, but do not understand, then who but a
fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of
intelligent tinkering."
Aldo Leopold, The Sand County Almanac
Is it a sparrow or a finch or what? Is it just visiting
or could it have a nest nearby?

For a $20.00 donation to the Rogue Valley
Audubon Society's education programs you can
have an experienced birder come to your home to
help you identify the birds in your yard. They will
also give advice on bird food, feeder placement,
field guides, binoculars and anything else you can
think of which relates to wild birds.
