Dec. 9, 2005 - Winter is for the Birds!!
It's a winter wonderland outside this morning!!
I awoke while still dark, and quietly got out of bed to take a peek out the window. We have a Nor'easter coming through and in anticipation, I had to see if it was snowing yet. Yup, It was!!
I quickly gor dressed so I could start my day since I knew my plans for the day would change now that the snow was here.
As I look out my kitchen windows, everything is just so pretty. The snow is falling heavily and steadily. A quick glance out the window above the sink showed me that the bird feeders were nearly empty. I went to fill them as I know our feathered friends will soon be here looking for breakfast. The chickadees and titmice started to come before I even got back in the house.
I guess they know that a storm is coming and are preparing. We enjoy
watching the birds everyday, but there's something about seeing them
with the snow falling that makes it extra special and enjoyable for me.
Matthew 6:26-27
Another look out the window, and I see a beautiful Cardinal at the platform feeder. His red color is so brilliant in the snow. Mourning Doves are gathered on the ground eating what has been dropped for them. And, although I can't see them, I hear the cries of the Blue Jays in the distance. Yes, on the snowy morning in Connecticut....
....winter is definitely "for the birds".

or the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish of the sea inform you.
Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the LORD has done this?
In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind."
Job 12:7-10

I am sorry, I don't have a link to the article you read on my blog. If I find it, I will send it to you!
I love your entry here! There is just nothing about God's creation that ceases to amaze me! And birds especially are just soooo fascinating! The Cardinal, by the way, is the state bird of Indiana (where I live) and I have always loved them. I think they are so pretty at Christmas time and during the winter. My grandmother kept bird food on her water cooler in the window, and they would come right next to the window to eat. They got used to seeing little peering eyes watching them. It was so cool to be that close to them as a kid! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
