All Creatures Great and Small

At my sister's house this past weekend we spent some time watching the birds. These turkeys come to eat every day. They're really skittish so it was hard to get a picture of them. At the first sign of movement in the house they would fly away. And when the flash went off, even from a distance, they would fly away. It's as if they knew Mike had taken the screen off the window so he could shoot out it - he wanted turkey for dinner. :( Thank goodness they were smart enough to figure him out and make their escape quickly! The day I took these pictures it was snowing hard - small flakes but thick - for about four hours.

Some of the birds didn't care if we were watching or not, they were there to eat and that's what they were going to do. These pictures are through a window with the screen still on. :) The little guy on the blue feeder seemed to be curious about what I was doing.

This little group of friends almost seemed to be gossiping about that strange human standing in there watching us!

This guy here never turned around to look at me! He was hungry and he wasn't budging from his perch. He was probably afraid someone else would get his food because there were lots and lots of birds at the feeders that day.

And just like the Bible says God takes care of even the sparrows...and bluebirds and woodpeckers and wrens and all creatures great and small. Including me.
