| A male and female cardinal in Jim & Diane's backyard in Cambridge, Ontario - March 16, 2013 |
"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?"
Matthew 6:26 NIV
My friends, Jim and Diane, have a couple of bird feeders attached to their deck in their backyard and enjoy watching a great variety of birds come to eat on a daily basis. This past Saturday afternoon, it was a real highlight for me to pull up a chair in front of their patio door and watch these birds for an hour. Sometimes there were 6 or 8 cardinals sitting in this bush waiting for their turn at the bird feeder. We also saw chickadees, goldfinches, juncos, downy woodpecker, nuthatches, and more. I have never seen so many birds for such extended periods of time, while sitting in one place. It was the easiest and most enjoyable bird watching I have ever done and Diane even provided a snack for me!
