FAMILIES OF PROMISE

Othen than "lots of snow" there is not too much of Nature, Birds or Wildlife for this Hudson River Birder to share here..
Well, the truth is that my blog ..."is evolving"..  One of my main guiding principles about nature, (creation) is the "interconnectedness" and the "needed communion" among ALL God's creatures.. Long before I became interested in nature, wildlife and birds I was a "human being interested in human beings".  The 8 minute mini documentary I embedded below was done by 7th grade students at St. John Vianney School in Kailua, Hawaii on a project to deal with homelessness.  The documentary won the award of the United States Bishops Human Development Campaign just this last December 10th. It is very good. Despite all that has been said about the problem of depleted habitats birds make out pretty good.  The Artic Term, for example is able to migrate from the North Pole to the South Pole each year to find food, nest and care for its youngs.  Unfortunatlely..HUMAN BEINGS DON'T HAVE THOSE OPTIONS.
