Birdfeeder Beauties!

I am always amazed at the beauty I see in the birds. We have so many that come to our feeder. Finches, sparrows, cardinals. Now, the robins are back, too! So many colors. Some have what look like a beautiful blue gray on their bellies. Some are striped. All of them are such a joy to behold.

The beauty of nature really reminds me of the magnificence of Yahweh. He took so much time and care to create such variety. Wow! All that attention to detail. How can I doubt His same attention to us humans? In fact, His even greater attention. He says that we are more important to the sparrows. He knows every detail of our lives...even the number of hairs on our heads. With Dave and I...that number is getting smaller and smaller! :P

There is a layer of snow ever everything...but it is not deep yet. We have about 3 inches? Tomorrow we are supposed to end up with about 19 inches...after it snows all day.

The birds are sure going after the seed in the snow, as well as the feeder. It is amazing how fast they are eating it all up. What is really funny is watching the bigger birds trying to eat seed from a feeder that is obviously made for little birds!

Dave heard that we have ours well placed. It is best to put it in a pine tree of some sort as it affords the birds more protection from predators. Ours is in a cedar!

Well...I am signing off here for a bit. I have cookies baked and an Adventure in Odyssey to listen to!

Blessings to all my readers!
