I love getting pictures of birds that visit our home!
Goldfinch
As Spring comes, the goldfinch will turn more and more yellow.
By summer, he is a bright yellow!
Goldfinch and house finch
House finch and Junco
The Junco is a winter bird; a type of sparrow. This is the slate-colored race.
Cardinal and sparrow (it is so cute!!)
Flicker
Sweet little sparrow
The chickadee
It makes a tse tse tse sound. Also a whistle - "so sweet" it calls
I've been trying to photograph an elusive wren, but it is so flighty! One day I'll have my camera ready when he appears! This morning I heard his loud, bubbly cry and got my camera ready, but I never did see it.
Marjolein Bastin paints the cutest wrens!
A cooper hawk in the willow - enemy of these little birds
They fly into bushes to escape.
As Christians, we also have an enemy. 1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
I think about how a hawk soars to and fro, or sits in a branch with his keen eye, just watching. Just waiting to see a mouse or little bird he can go after. Likewise, Satan.
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me."
Psalm 50 15
"For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock." Psalm 27:5
He is our Rescuer!
Our Protector.
Our Shield.
Our Defender!
Our Deliverer.
