Thoughts for the faith-curious birder or the bird-curious Christian. It's a weird niche, admittedly.

NEW POST. I feel like I'm enunciating correctly, but this has been a longstanding failure to communicate between Siri and me, and I decided to post an open letter... https://t.co/ymNUoBAI3k #birds #birding #HeySiri

@willpanderson was my senior editor for Considering Sparrows. We talk here about the journey of writing/publishing, and the experience of receiving feedback on our creative process. Also pizza. Enjoy the conversation! https://t.co/bbdOMBQYWo

The book is a “journey through the book of Philippians” revealing “timeless truths through the lives of birds.”

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

Thanks, Linda! (I enjoy reading your books too!).

When I discovered Pastor Kevin Burrell's blog, @ornitheology1, I was immediately taken by his witty, informative, writing about birds, nature, and God. Now, he's releasing a book, a bird-focused walk through Philippians.  I've already pre-ordered it and can't wait to dig in.

@WhiteHouse OK, no opinions. But fact: penguins are Antarctic. Not a single one in Greenland. Please tell me you knew that…

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

NEW POST: Jesus taught, “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost…?” That goes ditto for bird towers, and so I offer this cautionary tale. https://t.co/f4AhqBurJh

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

Have you ever wondered why Christians often pray for a “hedge of protection”? To better understand, consider the Gila Woodpecker. - https://t.co/6SRpYriTz3

Puffins are not adorable.
Also in this issue: Labor Day rest, bloated backpacks, and more.
