Severe Northern California atmospheric rivers, the result of climate changes, have recently displaced the lifestyles of many species, including birds. This collection of photographs and cheritas tells the story of nest bits and pieces belonging to robins, blue birds, chickadees, and black birds strewn about my yard. 

          Each fragment I came upon was, in my eyes, a remnant work of art that represented tireless aviary efforts to carry from somewhere else by beak what was needed to build a home here. 

          I was beyond grateful to see there were no signs of winged inhabitants, young or old, left behind. This is what makes bird psalm a prayer.
