James, so sorry to read about everything you have been going through the eye surgeries. I find some comfort in knowing my words have given you come comfort. I come to those words often during times of struggle. I share those words in hopes that I give others something they can relate to.
Your photos are all so wonderful. I love the song of the house finch and the house sparrows. My yard is filled with both. I agree 100% with Aldo Leopold, geese are better than TV.
Excellent essay James. Hoping you're on the mend with the eye surgeries as well.
Excellent quote from Aldo Leopold re: seeing geese. I would easily spend a 5 minutes watching Canada Geese or Snow Geese over hours of TV any day.
Love those Northern Pintail photos. It's been a few years since I have seen one. There is a certain regal quiet manner about them. We had a mated pair of Northern Pintails show up here in the Ottawa area several years ago in late Winter/early Spring. It was interesting watching them amongst a mixed group of Mallards, American Black Ducks, and Canada Geese. Those two pintails were celebrities for several weeks to us local birds and nature-lovers.

I hope you are finally on the mend.
