When He spoke birds of every kind were created.
Birds are both beautiful and ugly, or should I saw
homely looking but they all serve a purpose. Some are amazingly colorful and
gorgeous others are plain in color and have no marks to make them close to
being pretty. It all depends on your likes and dislikes.
There are birds that have a song that will
peacefully wake you up in the morning some are loud and annoying with their
sounds they make in the morning like roosters. Anyone who tells you they only
crow when the sun comes up is not telling the truth. They crow whenever they
feel like it.
Well we have some birds that sing, some that annoy
us and some that we actually sit and watch for hours. There are many bird
watchers professional and those people who just like to watch for fun. Either
way everyone has that one favorite bird no matter what part of the world you
live in.
What is so amazing about birds is they each have
their own way of traveling-migrating some fly some have to walk and some swim.
It all depends on where they are from and where they are going. They each have
different ways of making nests, hatching and feeding their young. Some birds
know right from the egg what they are to do, others need their parents help to
learn everything.
Birds are so different you can learn their calls
and songs if you take time to listen. Once you learn their calls and songs, you
can spot them in the trees. I know that not all birds or animals are welcomed
to your backyard or window feeders but nature will find its way where there is
food. And I believe they will pass on this knowledge to others in the flock.
Just enjoy watching what happens when you put out some seeds in a feeder. You
will be amazed at what will appear. Birds are here to stay, welcomed or not.

8. He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if
the waters had receded from the face of the ground.
