Green Heron at Flamingo Gardens by Lee 2014
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10 KJV)
We see all the world around us and see all the magnificent birds the Lord has created, yet they are nothing compared to what “God hath prepared for them that love him” I trust that you do love God and have accepted His Son as your Savior. Then, you will see what has been revealed and what will yet be revealed.
For now, let’s enjoy what we can see of the Lord’s Creative Hand at work.
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. (Psalms 104:24 KJV)
Some of the birds we saw in 2014:
P.S. My First Bird of 2015 was a Boat-tailed Grackle that visited the feeders. Followed close behind were Mourning Doves and Red-winged Blackbirds. Woke up with a sore throat, so that was my birdwatching adventure of the new year so far.

That would be great. I don’t go to the “other side” that much, tho. But I will remember to visit the Turacos if I get to Brevard any time in the future. My favorite place to visit over on East Coast this time of year is http://www.pbcgov.com/waterutilities/wakodahatchee/ in Delray Beach or Loxahatchee. Not sure what’s left of Loxahatchee though. Been a long time.
East Coast is the first place I saw a Burrowing Owl, over there, but now live in BO Central. You should make plans to attend the Cape Coral Burrowing Owl Festival in February. Not sure the date, but usually third Saturday. Check ccfriendsofwildlife.org come to the fest and head over to Sanibel or Peace River Wildlife Center after or before. : )

Wow! Now I have to go to Brevard Zoo. I LOVE Turacos. Saw my first few here in a now close small public zoo in Naples. I read that their bright colored underwings drip red when it rains because the color there is water soluble. Never saw it happen, but was very amazed when saw the bright red of my favorite bird at the zoo when it took flight. Happy New Year and thanks for this awesome blog. -annie
