I saw a new bird today. Chuck spotted it at one of his feeders. He thought, at first, it was an albino (of a pigeon or mourning dove but then he brought out his bird book. It was a type of dove he had never seen before. It was white and had a ring around its neck. I will give you its precise name when I look it up in my bird book. It is always exciting when you see a new species of bird. I might try to photograph the red headed woodpecker for my wife later. It is a common species here but not so in Pennsylvania.

Even in NYC others want a connection with nature. I was visiting my friend there and I noted facing one window were all kinds of houseplants. Yes, you are surrounded by concrete pavements and buildings but others still desire that connection. Sure there are parks in the City. And they are well attended. I remember going to one nearby my friend. And huddled in one bush was a robin. I never had seen one in February before. It is so easy to feel divorced from the world God has created living in such a big city. It is just a little bit harder there but the popularity of houseplants indicate but (???) every person wants that connection. A world really never too far away. There is the wind, the sun, rain and even snow and even the ubiquitous pigeon that remind you there (???) nature is not too far away. It just seems that way sometimes.
