The Silver Lining of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Nature’s Reclamation of Urban Scape 

Short Description: 

Normally, bird sightings are few and far between in the vicinity of a busy college football stadium; however, with the pandemic-induced lockdowns over the last year, nature’s reemergence in urban settings has been the silver lining of an otherwise unprecedented period marked by shrouded darkness and deep sorrow.

Symbolism:

The brown finch perched on the branches of a tree is symbolic of the hope that people have in store for the spring. Moreover, it symbolizes nature’s versatility and ability to evolve and adapt to any facet of life.
