I'm beginning this series on
Our Earthly Cousins in order to highlight the family connections we humans have to all living species on earth. Here are two photos taken by a good friend of mine on a recent visit to Acadia National Park in Maine.

| Cedar Waxwing |
These two species have an inalienable right to be here — as do we, as do all other species on God's green earth. They are our cousins in that they, like us, are branches on one single tree of life on this evolving planet. We have a right to admire them and share the earth with them, but no right to destroy them or damage their habitat.
