Bird Braining....

How does that old saying go?
Birds of a Feather flock together?
My mom used to remind me of that when I was a teenager.
I know its true. If I see the male Cardinal, I know I'm sure to see
the female cardinal close by, but I know that's not the point my mom
was trying to make.

Look close and you can see the female to the left...she is not at pretty as the male.
that seems to be the case often in the bird world. 

She would also say, Karen you are being bird brained right
now, meaning I was not thinking clearly or I was being  flighty.
Well this blog post is finding me bird brained again....

Not in the way she meant, but I do have birds on the brain.
I have become a bird lover.
I can't believe how many kinds of birds God created.
Here in Nebraska we have some great birdies in my backyard.

I have my favorites, the Cardinal is at the top of my list.
I am the grandmother of 7 grandsons. 2 of them can hit a bird with
a sling shot and a stone from a half a mile away...okay so I exaggerate , but not
much. The other two are pretty good with a rifle. I have given them
explicit orders that the birds in the back yard are OFF LIMITS...TOTALLY.

I saw a turkey this morning. They are so beautiful when they are strutting
and have those feathers all spread out, but those heads,
what happened to those heads? They are so ugly.

There is a pheasant hanging out in my backyard lately, he sounds like
a car horn with a cold.
I  missed a picture this morning, but I'm on a mission to get one for you.
He is a beauty, and he is officially OFF LIMITS . I know
that everyone will need reminding when hunting season rolls around.

And check out these guys.....

Aren't they beautiful? 

There is a scripture in Matthew 6:26, "Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are YOU not worth much more than they?"

The Birds are just a reminder of how Special You Are to God...
I just thought I'd remind you today :)
