Birdwatching Thru the Bible – Without Trying

As we read through our Bible, many times we end up birdwatching without even trying. In a passage your reading, you find a type of bird mentioned. Do you make a mental note or write down the bird’s name? Many of us “birdwatchers” have our eyes and ears perk up, and we become curious. Well, at least I do.

Looking back through previous post, I spotted this one: Birdwatching Without Birdwatching. We were just out driving and spotted four Eagles. That is what happens while reading scripture. Stay curious. Whether it’s birds, animals, truths about any topic, especially scriptural truths. Many times, using a concordance will help you find other references to that same topic. Compare scripture with scripture.

For instance: Eagle/Eagles are mentioned 34 times in the KJV version. Plus, there are numerous online resources and books to check out.

Dr. Johnson, (Dr. Jim) told us in Birdwatching is the right thing to do!

Appreciating including, but not) is the right thing to do!

This was an unexpected view out our back door while eating breakfast. Two Bald Eagles sitting in that tree. Thankfully my camera was handy.

Whistling Ducks Encountering A Turtle

Whistling Ducks Looking As Turtle Disappears

Our welcoming Whistling Duck provided some entertainment when they encountered our local Turtle. He was trying to mind his own business, but the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks where quite curious. Here is a video, I attempted to patch together. Still trying to learn the procedure.

“Then God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind’; and it was so.” (Genesis 1:24 NKJV)

Oh, the joys of looking out our back door! I hope the main flock that took off on Saturday are safely at their migration destination. Or at least, getting close.
