Even the simple things in life are beautiful.

The White rumped Munia ranks as one of the most common birds in Thailand. This little finch is so common that in parts of the northeast they are routinely trapped and sold as “nok tamboon” for merit-making. These little creatures build nests in trees in gardens and plantations and can raise up to four chicks per clutch. -Not bad! 

Birders are often bored of these little birds since they are so common, yet as you can see from this shot, each and every one of them is a unique individual.

And God thinks the same as well. “Not one bird falls to the ground that your Heavenly Father is not aware of.”

    I saw this bird in a piano teacher’s garden while taking the kids there to learn. Since I had the camera gear in the car I took the opportunity.
