Today Dan and I finally went on a short birding trip. We drove over to Orlando’s Gatorland (45 miles). I finally have something to write about besides the birds seen through our back patio door. It was sort of quiet, as far as the number of birds, this time of year. We normally go over … Continue reading
We just finished attending our Christmas Eve service at our church, Faith Baptist Church. Thought maybe you would enjoy watching it. “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the … Continue reading
Be gracious in your speech. The goal is to bring out the best in others in a conversation, not put them down, not cut them out. Colossians 4:6 The Message Last summer I decided to try my hand at recording bird songs. I downloaded a recommended app and went out into the field. While listening … Continue reading
In my last article, Time to Get Back to Bird Blogging, I mentioned the “Devil Bird.” Or, the “now you see him, now you don’t bird.” :) The Belted Kingfisher, our local kingfisher, has managed to slow down long enough (or I was fast enough) to get at least a few photos of him or … Continue reading
We have been occupied the last few weeks with visitors from the north, Indiana. During our Thanksgiving holiday, Dan’s sister and niece flew (drove fast) down for a few weeks. Just like migrating birds, now you see them, and then they leave. Also, my internet was down for awhile, plus not going birding, makes for … Continue reading
“I’m thanking you, God, from a full heart, I’m writing the book on your wonders.” Psalms 9:1, The Message The joy and practice of writing about the wonders of creation is nothing new. The Bible tells us that in his four-thousand and five proverbs and songs (that’s a lot of blogging!), King Solomon “spoke of … Continue reading
“Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth…” Proverbs 27:2 If you’ve walked through an eastern forest or meadow, you’re familiar with the well-known Eastern Phoebe. It flits from perch to perch snatching up moths, flies, and about anything else that zips by. And in self-recognition of its own prowess as a tyrant … Continue reading
Have you ever shouted to God, “COME OUT, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!”? Ezekiel 39:29 “Neither will I hide my face any more from them…” Birding can sometimes feel like a game of hide-and-seek. The birds have the “hide” part down pat! They are masters of camouflage and stealth, and seem to know the cleverest … Continue reading
In Rockefeller the Saw-Whet Owl in Christmas Tree, you were introduced to Rockefeller, the little Saw-Whet Owl that was found in the Christmas Tree. They promised they would release him last week-end, but released the owl last Tuesday, November the 24th. Here is a video of that release. As this little owl was given compassion, … Continue reading
2 Timothy 4:2 “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season…” People have asked me, “How are you able to photograph so many different animals?” A big part of the equation is taking and making opportunities. This success principle holds true in many areas: financial investors watch the markets to take advantage of … Continue reading
While I am continuing to move articles from Birds of the Bible for Kids site to this one, I come across previous post, that were just delightful. Many of you enjoyed them as well. Just thought you might like a look back at a few of them: A Curious, Leeping or Panting Deer? This has two … Continue reading
Here’s an interesting story about a Saw-Whet Owl which showed up in the Rockefeller Christmas tree being delivered. Northern Saw-Whet Owls are like other Owls. They appear on the “Do Not Eat” list. Too cute to eat this Little Owl. “And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his … Continue reading
