“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (Luke 2:8-14 KJV)

Relocating to Lee’s Birdwatching Adventures Plus
Many of you that follow of Birds of the Bible for Kids are also followers of Lee’s Birdwatching Adventures Plus. I am so thankful for all who have been following both of these blogs. I also thank all of you newer readers and followers here. If you only follow here, please consider following the Birdwatching Adventures Main Site
Birds of the Bible for Kids was a branch off of the main Lee’s Birdwatching. We have enjoyed moving many articles over. and building up the Kid’s portion here. Now, it is necessary to re-direct all these articles back to the original home for these posts. There are various reasons for this move, but the information and articles will still be active, just not here. My plans are to keep this blog active so the previous articles can linked to their new location. [It will switched to a free blog with Ads. Yuck!]
I have been busy relocating these post and leaving a link to their new location. The Kid’s Section is being updated to include sections from this blog that were not already there. It seems as if dust is being stirred up, but:
It may seem a bit dusty for a bit, but sooner or later, it usually settles down.

Early Bird Gets the Worm – Garfield
One of the birds that, I personally have seen, dig worms out the ground is the American Robin. When we lived in Indiana, there were many Robin available to watch. Down here in central Florida, we very seldom see any. Mostly in the winter, a few Robins migrate through here. They do not stay for the winter, but keep heading further down the state.
Many other birds like worms also, including Bluebirds.
Yet, it seems that Garfield met a very interesting Bluebird that has a problem feeding her little ones:

A Promise For Us – Isaiah’s Eagle
Last week, William Wise posted his great photo and post, Almighty Is His Name. And all week, I desired to post the scripture verses in Isaiah 40, that we read the next day. Somehow lately, time seems to get away from me. Not going birding, or having but few birds visiting the back yard, . . . . . .

Dodo Channel – Hawk Stuck In Car’s Grill
Dan found this on The DoDo channel and I thought we would share it here:
But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless. (Hawk in the case) (Psalms 10:14 NIV)
2nd Grd CHEERFULNESS- LESSON LXX.
“A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken.” (Proverbs 15:13 NASB)
LESSON LXX.

CHEERFULNESS.
[Illustration: Script Exercise:
There is a little maiden—
Who is she? Do you know?
Who always has a welcome,
Wherever she may go.
Her face is like the May time,
Her voice is like the bird’s;
The sweetest of all music
Is in her lightsome words.
Each spot she makes the brighter,
As if she were the sun;
And she is sought and cherished
And loved by everyone;
By old folks and by children,
By loft and by low;
Who is this little maiden?
Does anybody know?
You surely must have met her.
You certainly can guess;
What! I must introduce her?
Her name is Cheeerfulness.

McGuffey’s 6th Grade Reader – God Is Everywhere
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1 KJV)
XXXVII. GOD IS EVERYWHERE. (161)
Oh! show me where is He,
The high and holy One,
To whom thou bend’st the knee,
And prayest, “Thy will be done!”
I hear thy song of praise,
And lo! no form is near:
Thine eyes I see thee raise,
But where doth God appear?
Oh! teach me who is God, and where his glories shine,
That I may kneel and pray, and call thy Father mine.
“Gaze on that arch above:
The glittering vault admire.
Who taught those orbs to move?
Who lit their ceaseless fire?
Who guides the moon to run
In silence through the skies?
Who bids that dawning sun
In strength and beauty rise?
There view immensity! behold! my God is there:
The sun, the moon, the stars, his majesty declare.
“See where the mountains rise:
Where thundering torrents foam;
Where, veiled in towering skies,
The eagle makes his home:
Where savage nature dwells,
My God is present, too:
Through all her wildest dells
His footsteps I pursue:
He reared those giant cliffs, supplies that dashing stream,
Provides the daily food which stills the wild bird’s scream.
“Look on that world of waves,
Where finny nations glide;
Within whose deep, dark caves
The ocean monsters hide:
His power is sovereign there,
To raise, to quell the storm;
The depths his bounty share,
Where sport the scaly swarm:
Tempests and calms obey the same almighty voice,
Which rules the earth and skies, and bids far worlds rejoice.”
—Joseph Hutton.

Fourth of July Flag Birds
Red symbolizes hardiness and valor
White symbolizes purity and innocence
Blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice
The stripes represent the original 13 Colonies and the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well; red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice.
“The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance. The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men; From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth, He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.”
(Psalms 33:11-15 NASB)
Gaze Stabilization – Bobble-Body
A friend placed this video on my Facebook. Another friend commented that instead of a bobble-head, it seems to have a bobble-body. That appears to be a very appropriate name for this Kingfisher’s actions.
Kingfisher, which aired on the BBC’s Winterwatch
Audubon’s comments had this remark about this birds video:
“Here’s an experiment: While reading this sentence, shake your head back and forth, and then nod up and down. Notice how the words on your screen remain in focus? Congratulations, you just experienced “gaze stabilization.”
It’s this natural ability that allows us to maintain a clear line of vision even when our bodies are in motion.”
“Gaze stabilization found in nature has inspired modern technologies, such as those used to stabilize images in cameras and drones. “Any cameras that films movies have image stabilization,” Dickman says.” Read this whole artcle at For Birds, a Steady Head Is the Key to Incredible Focus
Gazing, or keeping our eyes focused on things, is mention frequently in Scripture.
“Look up at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high above you.” (Job 35:5 NIV)
Stephen Gazed: “But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” (Acts 7:55-56 NKJV)
“He has regarded the prayer of the destitute And has not despised their prayer. This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD. For He looked down from His holy height; From heaven the LORD gazed upon the earth, To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free those who were doomed to death,” (Psalms 102:17-20 NASB)
“At Lystra a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well, said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And he leaped up and began to walk.” (Acts 14:8-10 NASB)
Where are we gazing?
“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2 NASB)
