Social Distancing and Mask by Birds

This year we were privileged to see a small flock of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks land by our home. As we are constantly being reminded to “social distance” ourselves, I think someone must have informed this flock of Ducks.

This is the way you normally see them:

“All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.” (Matthew 25:32 NKJV)

Also, we have been told to wear mask, but this recent visiter, a Loggerhead Shrike seems to have the mask a little too high.

Stay safe as we journey through this trying time.

  1. What a blessing to have a few interesting birds turn up at home. The Lord is making sure you do not miss out even under Covid restrictions. The Miners prevent that happening in our yard most of the time as their aggressive behaviour, and coalition mobbing, drives all non Miner approved birds away.

    • Not sure I have seen any Pine Siskins in this area before. In fact, not sure when I last saw one. Thanks, I’ll keep my eyes open and my camera handy.
