Psalm 19:1-4

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the end of the world."

Tiny Birds




This week Pocohantas spotted a very tiny and beautiful bluebird. We is a little bit bigger than the hummingbirds, very shy and fast! We think it's an Eastern Bluebird. I wasn't able to get a photo of him so I went to the Texas Bluebird Societies' webpage and downloaded this photo.

We did get a great photo of the tiny woodpecker. We are not sure of his species. He is either a Downey Woodpecker, a Yellow-bellied Sap Sucker or a Hairy Woodpecker. I haven't been able to find good pictures at the right angles to see tail feathers, etc for identification. Oh well, right now we are just enjoying watching them and their behaviors!

Pocahontas is especially fond of the little girl squirrel (Little Lady). She's praying that she will be able to hand feed her someday.
