I've been trying to pay attention to the more common songbirds around instead of letting them fade into the landscape, and not to be corny but it does actually make the world a little brighter to realize the pretty red bird or the brown one with the neat striping pattern in the tree outside your window is in fact a simple house finch.

#like yeah actually i get it now i get why birders are so fond of the common little guys who hang out in your yard #they're adorable! they live in your neighborhood! they're little guys!#I did read amy tan's the backyard bird chronicles earlier this year and it was much of the inspiration for paying more attention #it is delightful especially if you're like. every neighborhood songbird looks exactly the same how the fuck do I differentiate #highly recommend #okay anyway posting this instead of angsting over how much STUFF i need to do #cuz honestly it makes me feel better. I do hate despairing when it does my mental health no favors
