The author invites readers to find joy through observing the flight of barn swallows, the victory march of mockingbirds, the vibrant color of cardinals, and the surprising behavior of Anna’s hummingbirds. Swallows exhibit grace and speed, reflecting their four-winged ancient cousins. Mockingbirds create a neighborhood symphony and offer a pop quiz on bird calls. Cardinals shine in the winter landscape, carrying a hue invisible to human eyes. Hummingbirds fiercely defend their territory while maintaining their comical appearance. Birds are a reminder of the near extinction of the avian species, with only three species surviving the Chicxulub asteroid impact. Appreciate the gift of birds in our world.
