“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z


Lovely to see the Red-breasted Nuthatch. I’ve never had the pleasure. Do you kind of take in a breath when you see a rare visitor for the first time? I have in the past, but have not had any rare sightings for a while. However, we live near a golf course and my husband saw for himself a mature Bald Eagle. Before that he had only heard about the Eagle. I am not a golfer, but I plan to go for a visit hopefully to catch a glimpse. East coast, MD, near the Chesapeake Bay.
What a cute picture of the ‘sleeping goldfinch’!
I had a surprise this week when A PEACOCK crossed in front of me! Didn’t have its long tail feathers with all the ‘eyes’-but it was really weird to see it! I thought peacocks were tropical birds!
Irishgirl,
If it didn’t have the long tail feathers, then I suspect it was a PEAHEN (female of the species).
