"Listen to the Birds"
Richelle Hunter
We so very often remind people to take a few moments to "Listen to the Birds"...while on a hike, while cycling through a forest, while spending time in the garden. The birds tell us plenty with their sounds. One may hear a newly-fledged family squawking or calling for food; adults singing their sweet tunes; others just simply chirping with delight. Many times, if you are listening closely, one species is warning that another species is nearby. For example, you may hear Blackbirds or even Chickadees making lots of noise sending a sign to others that a predator - for example, a Hawk - is in the area!! Such was the case this morning, for us. It has happened before, but never have we spotted what we saw today - A Bald Eagle! Needless to say the Crows were in fine form & not happy!! The bird sounds bring many a feeling of peace & joy; a smile on an otherwise gloomy day or some moments of rest & relaxation. This morning we felt much delight & excitement and we thank the Crows for reminding us to "Listen to the Birds"!!
Rewarded this morning....the Crows told us something was up & sure enough it was!! A Bald Eagle was perched tree top looking over our yard!!
