A Sparrow Visits Our Feeder - Snow in March

Is this little guy chubby or what? lol It was actually a windy day. We had another one of those cold, windy, and snowy "March in Ohio" days.

That's okay. I spent the day inside playing with my grandson and watching the birds. There are several different species besides the sparrows that visit. I think the woodpeckers (2+ varieties) and finches (3+ varieties, if you count the black capped chickadees...?) are some of the favorites. And the Junco's, but they usually only come with the snow. I have pictures of them somewhere....

Okay... and the doves! I like the doves! Oooo, oooo! ... and the cardinals ... and blue jays! Ohhhhh, I admit, I like most of them! I could pass on the starlings and grackles. They come in like a swarm of locust at times. No where near as bad this year as last year, though. Easy solution: withhold the food for a few days. The neighbors also feed, so the birds won't starve! ha-ha ha!

On a higher note:
Luke 12:6-8 (King James Version; KJV)
6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
