For some time now, I have noticed a lack of birds on my yard. Where there used to be so many birds, that the feeders needed filling constantly, now, it is almost rare to see a bird at the feeder.
This Thrush passed through in early spring and posed just long enough for me to get a shot.
Thankfully, even though I don't have many birds, the evening sky often is painted in the most beautiful colors.
Sitting, proudly atop one of the spruce trees is the culprit who is discouraging the other birds.
This Merlin and his mate have set up housekeeping in a nearby tree.Yes, their family needs food, but do they have to get that food on my yard? I miss my birds.
I will say that the Merlin is a beautiful bird. Since he seems to be the only bird around for most of the time, I will get photos of him.
There was a time when the yard was full of Goldfinches as well as other birds, but this spring I have seen just a couple.
I guess I must look on the bright side, at least I'm not spending large amounts of money on bird food.
To Think About:
Lord, use me today to bring someone hope, a lighter burden, encouragement.
