Bird of spring

Brother Junic sent these pictures of a bird of spring feeding itself in his garden in always cold Calgary, Canada. Brother briefly visited us for close to a month to be with our mother in her time of need. Now that he's back with his family, we are grateful for both his brief presence and now the void he left behind because the latter will remind us there'll be homecomings to look forward to. Like the bird who always finds his way home.

Nice photos, bro. I post it at the time of day, before 6 a.m., when the birds of the Philippines are also wakening to the hint of sun.
