Sweet Little Bird----She made my Day!

Oh my gosh, I have to share this story! 
I came home from work and our newest dog Bandit had a little bird cornered in the garage. I scooped up the bird and brought it in the house. The bird wouldn't move, I couldn't tell if it was hurt, I didn't see any blood. I put it on a towel on the washer, I put a laundry basket over the bird. I kept going over there to check on her. She drank some water off my finger.(SO Sweet!) so I could tell she was a little more alert. So I left her alone for a few minutes,,,,,,,when I went back over there, she had laid an egg!!!!!!!!!!  OMG!!!
The shell was soft and transparent. I guess she was in this process when Bandit scared her. So after that she was ready to fly! We took her outside and let her go! I will post a couple of pictures.
So Awesome!
I hope and pray she'll be safe. 
I read online where if a bird is under stress they will abort the egg. So I do hate that. But I guess I got home just in time to save that little bird.
It made my day!!!
****I've figured out the bird was a Vireo,,,She was a pretty color, some yellow. some olive-color,,,,
I am going to research it a little more.****

I LOVE SPRING!

You drive through the country and see these "blasts" of Purple,,,,,It is MY FAVORITE: Wisteria, just growing wild along the road! Beautiful!


Unfortunately, I dont have the "TIME" I used to have to enjoy birdwatching!! I usually cant even keep my bird feeders full at all times. That means the birds disappear for awhile and then when you do fill the feeders it takes a while for them to return!


I used to look forward to seeing certain birds at certain times of the year,,,,,,In the spring I would see Blue Grosbeaks(usually in March) and I "might" catch a glimpse of a Cedar Waxwing if I was lucky! This is the time of the year when the Goldfinches come around, and there are a few out there right now! They are so pretty! They are not quite the Bright Bright Yellow yet that they will be come late Spring and Summer(the males),,,,,by the time they reach that Beautiful Bright yellow color, they wont be around here anymore.


I love animals. I have some sort of fascination with birds!

God is so good! There are miracles everyday. We see it in HIS creation! Seems especially so in the Spring!
Ps. 104:24,30,31 O Lord, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
The glory of the Lord shall endure forever: the Lord shall rejoice in His works.
