I forget to post them, so, here are two of the latest videos: The White Fronted Bee Eaters video was produced by the … Continue reading
While we were eating breakfast, I was making a list of the birds that were out our back door. You have seen many of the photos, and posts about these Breakfast Blessings. Yet, like Tuesday, we were just eating and watching the antics of our Avian Wonders. There is always a squabble or two going … Continue reading
I have to admit that eating breakfast, or other meals here at home are quite an adventure. We have been in our new home just under 20 months now, and our list of birds either seen or flying by, just keeps increasing. Our chairs at the table are by double-sliding glass doors.

This family – which includes geese, ducks, and swans – is presumed by creation researchers to be a baramin. Therefore, Noah took two anatidae on the … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
I finally encouraged Dan to edit his photos from our latest visit to Gatorland. When I saw them, I knew we had to share them.
