Robins are the quintessential sign of springtime. If you want to hear their songs go here . I stealthily took these pictures from behind a closed and screened window. From the daddy bird's intense stare, I believe he may have spotted me.
Ducks are an often hunted waterfowl (think Duck Dynasty-lol). Still there's plenty of them to be found in parks with rivers, lakes, or ponds. They like stalking people and vice versa. Ducks are familiar to young and old folks alike. Have you ever heard of or seen a turkey-duck? Well they do exist. Below are a few of the bandit birds(or maybe masked super heros). I shouldn't stereotype them now, should I? Some of them do make weird hissing sounds and also strange neck movements.
Crows, crows, Crows! They can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Caw caw caw!! These dark, somewhat sinister birds can be obnoxious sometimes. But they are more interesting than you might believe.

One day at the park (what I call Duck Park) I was startled at the sight of this bird below. It appears to be a contortionist or trying to hide its huge nose. lol! I got a blurred shot of it enjoying rivulets of water running off a large Body. From what I can surmise, I believe it's a type of Ibis.
I was pleasantly surprised by this lovely bird only a few moments after the Ibis appeared and left. It's called a Common Egret. Ironically it's far from common to this area. Definitely not as common as robins, ducks, and crows.
What an extraordinary variety of birds God created! It is believed that there are 10,000 species of them. What's more He created every human being that has ever existed. And each person is unique and precious in His sight. We may be different in looks, habitat, mannerisms, abilities, talents, speech,,,and the list goes on. One thing is the same though- we each have a soul and we are loved by our Creator. More than the beautiful birds-
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Matthew 6
