  1. Right you are my brother ornithologists, this beautiful male specimen of God’s handiwork is:
    Pheucticus ludovicianus, (although not from Louisiana, but only migrates through there), and is better known as the:
    Rose-Breasted Grosbeak.
    I hope you were treated to it’s melodious and boisterously whistled tune.
    A harbinger of good things to come for the recipient of his song and visit. It reminds me a a poem I love:

    “Happiness is like the swallows in the spring.
    They may come and nest under your eaves-or-not.
    You cannot command it.
    When you expect to happy, you are not,
    When you don’t expect to be happy there is suddenly-
    EASTER IN YOUR SOUL,
    tho it be mid-winter.
    Something, you do not know what, has broken that seal that door in the depth of your being that opens on–
    ETERNITY!”
    Elizabeth Goudge

    The Lord has sent you a message, that you can be happy, despite the clouds above your head, for you I know have,
    “Easter in your soul”.
    May God bless you this day, and always, my friend.
