Alder: These trees grow in abundance along the San Antonio creek. They stabilize the soil, provide shade, and extract nitrogen from the air like legumes and beans.

Huge thanks to @WBU_Inc for donating all of the birdseed in our feeder at Pomona Hope. It’s enjoyed by many finches, sparrows, and warblers. Indirectly, these young birders appreciate it, as well!

#JohnStottBirding in Nashville, TN — 15 species & counting, including sightings of a ruby-throated hummingbird & a mourning warbler!

#WorldMigratoryBirdDay

[A Rocha International @arochaint]

The #JohnStottBirding Day is only 3 days away!

However, if a day out birding simply doesn't appeal, use 8 May as an opportunity to take some time out with God and learn more about Him from the #birds our teachers.
