Today was a beautiful day for another trip over to Gatorland in Orlando, Florida. [About a 50 mile ride] It is still a bit early for the chicks to arrive, but some Great Egrets were nesting. It was a cloudless day, and from the next photo, you can see that there are plenty of birds … Continue reading
A Truly Strange Bird Psalm 40:5 “Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.” Though God created the entire … Continue reading
I glanced out our back door and saw two Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks just a few feet from the patio. I was so busy enjoying watching them, that I forgot to pick up my camera, which was right near me. By the time my brain kicked in and I got the lens cap off, they were … Continue reading
“The fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; the mountains also will be thrown down, the steep pathways will collapse and every … Continue reading
“Birds’ lives are so filled with danger that they’re on alert at all times, just to stay alive. Luckily, they have several tactics to avoid becoming the next meal for a cat or hawk. One, of course, is to fly away, a good choice, but not always possible. Another is to call in a troop … Continue reading

So, she sent us to her link that explains how: Ahyoka/Cinquain Here we go: Eagles Flying Aloft What A Majestic Sight … Continue reading
An interesting video with ten of the most beautiful Hummingbirds in the world. What a Creator! Such variety and colors. I love the way the sun reflects on them and its affect on them. How well are we reflecting? “The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;” (Numbers 6:25 NKJV) … Continue reading
“…O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.” (Psalms 139:1-3 NKJV) This Great Egret’s pose caused me to chuckle, but also to think about … Continue reading
While reading today, this verse caught my attention. There has to be birds with each of these in their names: “The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the LORD tests the hearts. (Proverbs 17:3 NKJV) A simple blog with a great message. “The refining pot is for silver and the … Continue reading
My last post showed some of Dan’s photos he had taken, that were related to my previous post about Gatorland. I kid often about not knowing the difference from an “F-stop” or a “Stop Sign.” And it is true. I am not a photographer, just a Birdwatcher who takes photos of birds. That is what … Continue reading
Finally, I was able to encourage Dan to share some of his great photos from our latest Gatorland visit. He is a much more busier than me, and processing photos taken in “raw format” take more time. My “JPEG” are a snap to get ready. That said, here are the first few that go along … Continue reading
