This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Spring Song
Day 143: Melospiza melodia...Song Sparrow...he wears a tie tack in the center of his breast, but if you hear him sing, you won't need to note any other identifying feature. His clear, liquid notes come like a chorus of bells from thickets of willow and wild roses. You may not see this little singer, but there is no mistaking his voice. Plain though his colors may be, his song is one of the loveliest sounds of spring.
