Aug. 5, 2008~ Our Feathered Visitor ~ |
The other day, while eating lunch, my son thought he heard a bird hit the livingroom window. He looked over and saw something fluttering in behind the curtain. He went to check it out and discovered a little bird on the window sill!
None of us saw it fly in the house. It was a warm day and so the back door was open and we had all been outside, so I don't know how long it had been there.
The poor little thing kept flying up and hitting the window. It didn't understand that it couldn't get out!
We opened all of the windows and doors and I made a little trail of birdseed that led out the front door.
I have never seen my kids stand so still while we waited for him to find his way. He seemed to study the trail for a few minutes and then eventually flew out the door. He had to make a turn to do this, as the door was on the same wall as the window. I like to think my little trail helped him find his way out!
Anyhow, I'm pretty sure that it was a Sparrow. They come to our feeder all the time. It sure was neat to see one up close!

He was trying to attract attention!
We are studying birds...again.
We have sparrows, not too many colorful birds. |

It reminds me of the story of the man who tried to help the birds find their way to the food in the barn when there was a snow storm. After they strugged for awhile, he thought if he could just become a bird to show them the way.
It helped him to remember that Jesus came to us as a human to show us the way to Heaven.
Thanks for your story and the sweet picture. |
