Despite the rain, I came across some delightful surprises yesterday!!!!
 
Turning the corner at Hemlock Lane and Pinewood View in Sagamore Hills, there were at least 25 white winged crossbills (both male and female) on the ground below a hemlock feeding on the ground.  I could have touched them!  And it was fun to watch for about a half hour!!!
 
Coming up through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, had 22 wild turkeys cross the road in front of me without a care in the world.
 
And it appeared about 45 Great Blue Herons were on the nests at the Bath Road pullover.  
 
Bird on,

"Look at the birds..."  Matthew 6:26

I look at them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day–the invocations and the benedictions to God Himself.  I look to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear.  And that God's eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!
