Yesterday we went back over to Gatorland to see how the chicks have been progressing. Here is a video of a parent feeding the growing chicks. I felt so sorry for her (I assume). It was an unexpected visit, because another plan for the day, of Dan’s, fell through. So, we decided to see how much the birds had grown since our visit in March. Needless to say, this should be the last on until fall. It was a BIT warm.
I still have articles and photos to show from our March visit, but an issue with my eye slowed me down. All is well now after a small laser treatment last week. My camera eye was blurry, but now all is clear again. So, stayed tuned as I try to get more tales out.
I guess because of my eye problem, I was so worried when one of the youngsters grabbed her beak and got mighty close to the eye. Because eyes are mentioned so many times in Scripture, here are a few promises:
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” (Psalms 32:8 NKJV)
“Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,” (Psalms 33:18 NKJV)
“The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.” (Psalms 34:15 KJV)
“I guess because of my eye problem, I was so worried…” An example of the Lord allowing bad things to happen to us…so that we can relate more to the troubles of others.
Glad your laser treatment went well! Sending hugs from the Philippines!

There is always a risk factor with unskilled hungry youngsters poking their beak in places that could injure parents. Children always present challenges one way or the other.

I have to admit that it was unnerving me to watch that young one get so close to the eye.
