I’m Phoenix bound for a few days. New posts will return when I do.

I’m concluding my Big Week of birding today. I’m pleased to tell you that 103 southeastern Arizona bird species showed up to support the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.

Oh we yearn to surrender in the arms
Of a thousand trees

Music for watching goldfinches feed.

This solo performance is by Arthur. The entire album is worthy listening. The brothers were both still in their teens when it was recorded.
