#Finch gibt zur Weihnachtszeit den Kindern eine wichtige Stimme.

Wenn du den Song nicht aushalten kannst, frag dich, warum die Kinder den Krieg aushalten sollen

Das Lied kann gut beim #Krippenspiel eingebaut werden: wenn Josef und Maria bei den Hirten klopfen, läuft es im Hintergrund.

Crimson Crooner

One morning, years ago, I looked up into a tall tree at the forest’s edge and saw dozens of birds with red breasts. Most flew off, but one or two lingered. I wondered if they might be house finches, but they were too large. Turned out they were American robins. I’ll admit to a touch of disappointment—I’ve never seen a full flock of house finches. Still, here’s a male House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) I spotted around the same time.

Brushstroke of Nature

This American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) fluffs its feathers into a downy shield, insulating itself against the chill.

Gewone vink....?
Hoezo gewoon? Prachtig!
Ik herken steeds meer vogels, deze komt nooit op 1m hoog eten waar ik 'm zie vanaf de bank
Als ik opsta om te kijken is de vogel ... 😂
**foto is dus niet van mij 📷

m.i. zat zo een vanmiddag even op 't mandje > ging naar de grond, omhoog kijkend, dik luchtig verenpak [oud of ziek?]
Vooral de rozerode borst-keel viel op, ik zag niet de dikke vinkenbek
Zie echter geen andere vogel in de gids die lijkt op wat ik zag

Sunflower Adventure

While reviewing some underexposed house finch photos I took one spring, I came across a bird with unusually colored head feathers. It might be a young male who hasn’t yet developed the characteristic reddish plumage around the head and chest—or perhaps it’s one of the rarer yellow variants. I managed to capture a few shots of this curious finch, and this one stands out as the most intriguing.

(Fern:) I've been enjoying the mood tracker app #Foxtale so far! (Installed it 3ish days ago.) It's by the creators of the chronic illness tracking app #Bearable. It's very cute. It's like #Finch but focused on mood tracking/journaling and not tasks/friendship.

There is an option to turn off animations, though I don't know how good it is because the animations are fine for us, so I just briefly checked it (seems fine?)

The idea is you send a little fox friend on an adventure every day (with the option to log moods/journaling more often than that) and your emotions, even negative ones, are valuable in the story.
