Through My Blinds – Bald Eagle

Eagle Perch I normally see the Eagle. Way over there.

Today while I was eating breakfast, I looked out the window and saw a Bald Eagle on the bank across the water. He sits in a tree which I’ve shown photos of before, but this time he was a lot closer. Lord knows it’s hard for me to get out birdwatching these days, so He graciously has been bringing them here. Thank you, Lord.

I’m so my glad the phone was on my table. I have seen this eagle several times around the neighborhood lately. On the house next door and on others that have a second story. I guess he wants a good view closer to the pond.

As you know the Eagles are mentioned in the Bible and we have written about them many times here. The “Bald” Eagle always tickles me when I read this verse from Micah 1:6:

“Make yourself bald and cut off your hair, Because of your precious children; Enlarge your baldness like an eagle, For they shall go from you into captivity.”

Of course, Eagles are mentioned many times, in fact there are 23 verses like:

Deu 32:11   “As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings,”

Job 9:26   “They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey.”

Job 39:27   “Does the eagle mount up at your command, And make its nest on high?

Pro 23:5   “Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

Hab 1:8 “Their horses also are swifter than leopards, And more fierce than evening wolves. Their chargers charge ahead; Their cavalry comes from afar; They fly as the eagle that hastens to eat.”

August’s Bird of the Month – Kingfisher

According to Birds and Bloom magazine site, there are Birds of the Month.

“You’ve probably heard of birth month gemstones and birth month flowers, but have you heard of birth month birds? It might come as a surprise to learn every month of the year has not only a representative jewel and flower, but also a bird. From owls to ravens, here are the birds that represent everyone’s birthdays.”

August: Kingfisher

If you’re drawn to water, the kingfisher represents you well. The August birth month birds don’t stray far from water of some kind: rivers, lakes, streams or even swamps. You can find them throughout most of the United States, either year-round or during breeding or migration seasons.

“This is one of my favorite birds, the Belted Kingfisher. I was thrilled to catch this one perched on this branch. They are hard to catch up with as they are always on the move, but this one sat there for a while and posed for us. They have such a distinctive call, and watching one dive into the water to catch a fish is quite a sight!” says Pauline Medori.

Don’t forget to add a card to your bird month gift. We found the best bird cards.

“Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
(Mark 1:17 NKJV)

We’ve enjoyed writing about and watching these unique Kingfishers. They have a squatty look to me because of their short neck with that long beak. Luckily, we are able to see them nearby quite often. So, there are quite a few articles here on the blog. Here are some of them.
