If it itches, scratch it!

Even if you’re a warbler, busy gleaning gnats, what’s a body to do?–balance on one leg and scratch with the other, of course!

Death of a Warbler

It seems like this warbler perhaps collided with my sliding glass door. I was quite startled today as I was watering a planter near the door and spotted the Yellow-rumped Warbler’s yellow rump–still apparently in flight, but quiet and still…

Considering my feelings about this beautiful little bird’s “fall”, I could understand better that God notices when even “one sparrow falls to the ground”.

Unfortunately, the photo this paragraph refers to has gone missing. Stay tuned for its return!
