My review of the Wingspan Americas expansion (spoiler alert: love it), and how it game-simulates the sorts of things that real birds do. https://t.co/oJsWftffwl #Wingspan #WingspanAmericas #Birds #boardgames #stonemaier

My book dedication is all about my family, and what birds they would be if they were birds. Meet the nest. #birds #consideringsparrows https://t.co/NNO8D2sLM9

This post is more than 1.5 years old, but today it blew up on my blog—heaviest 1-day traffic I've ever experienced. I guess an article referencing "murder of crows" trends well on Halloween? But it's about your worship mindset too. Really. https://t.co/JiqjcCVgfn #HappyHalloween

Last Sunday at @StoneBridgeCLT, I started off with a bird-themed story about spotting forgeries by knowing the authentic. Here's the fuller article, with pot-shots at Indiana Jones, Platoon, Shawshank... and yes, Mary Poppins was WRONG. @ornitheology1 https://t.co/JX3hmVi5rj

The Language of Rivers and Stars: A great book by @sethlewis_ie on the declarations of God's character in the six days of creation. Loved the chapter on birds, of course!

The short-term advantages of a bodyguard become the long-term threat of becoming dinner. What happens when we "make friends with our sin"? New Post at https://t.co/wu3AZjr5xT

Five years ago, @holland_tom suggested that someone should find a song to represent each of the 66 Biblical books (sorry Catholics, Orthodox, etc.). The following is what I came up with.

Rules: no bad songs, no church songs, no repeated artists, and nothing too obscure. Read on!

Bad news: hobbies can be expensive. Good news: birdwatching is cheap; all you need is a decent set of binoculars. Here's what to look for. https://t.co/SfhBbkZ4V2
