During an 8-hour layover in Bangkok, we decided to explore the city, and lucked upon a monk ordination at the Marble Temple. This event happens once a year. At least 100 men and boys from the north of the country were ordained. The ordinations were for periods ranging from, we were told, three weeks to a lifetime.
Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

After placing a new stick in the nest, one of the pair prepares to sing (those shots upcoming) and the other is basically unmoved. I think a car in the parking area caught their attention, but I'm not sure.

Discovered by Alexander Wilson in a Mississippi magnolia tree, the Magnolia Warbler (Setophaga magnolia) is a distinctively handsome bird. Magnolia trees hold little interest for these birds, though. One just happened to land upon one during migration when Alexander's eyes clapped upon it.
These are seasonally-monogamous warblers, and males put a great deal of effort into impressing lady warblers with their songs each spring. Once paired up, the young couple fashions a messy, loose nest (by bird standards, anyway) in low branches of dense forest. In it, three to five eggs are laid, and one wonders if the gentleman warbler is hoping for a boy or five with whom he can toss a football? Regardless, if he does have any sons, it will be a year before they show father's resplendent coloration.
