The Sunday Salon: Spring Fling at Quintana Beach with Warblers and Tanagers and Orioles

 




I am delighted that you joined us here at the 
Sunday SalonWelcome! 

What is the Sunday Salon? 

The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 






I rested for a day after doing so much traveling in March, and then I got busy again attending a family reunion for my husband's family, going to our naturalist club meeting, volunteering at Spring Fling as a host for visitors coming to the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory to see migrating birds, and learning more about Emily Dickinson at my class.  




Yes, it took me three months, but I finally finished The Brothers Karamazov this week.


What I Read Last Week:

The Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (Classic)




What I'm Reading Now:

The Book of Birds: A Field Guide to Wonder and Loss 
written by Robert Macfarlane and illustrated by Jackie Morris (Nature Nonfiction)



I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:

I saw these beautiful birds at the bird sanctuary this week while I volunteered at the host station...


Good Thing #1:
Swainson's Warbler


Good Thing #2:
Prothonatary Warbler


Good Thing #3:
Scarlet Tanager

  1. I love the scarlet tanager! What a beautiful bird. On the rare occasion that I see one, I really feel happy. As a small child I had a bird book, and this is the one I remember the most.
