QUESTIONS WHILE SEARCHING FOR BIRDS WITH MY HALF-WHITE SONS, AGED SIX AND NINE, NATIONAL AUDUBON BIRD COUNT DAY, OXFORD, MS If we are going to look for birds all day, is anyone going to be looking for us if we get lost? I thought you said God has his eye on every sparrow, so why are we counting if He already knows? Is there a bathroom nearby? Why won’t you let me bring my telescope? There might be birds flying way, way up there, but we can’t see them and then we’ll mess up The Count. Why do lady cardinals look so sad and boy cardinals look like they are going to a party?
