So since we’ve moved the chickens out by the cows, we have to drive out at night to lock them up and collect eggs. The last few weeks we have been jumping several birds each trip that all look alike.
They are small but with relatively large wings and very pretty white tips/streaks on the wings that are kind of mesmerizing when they fly in front of the ATV light.
Well tonight we were finally able to get a close up pic and ID them! They are the Common Nighthawk and they are apparently bug eating sons-of-a-guns and are likely stopping through on their migration.
If I had to label the biggest observation we’ve had this year in the farm, it wouldn’t be the grass or grazing…. It’d be the birds! We’ve seen so many that we’ve never noticed before and many more of the ones we normally see. This is definitely one of the perks of the job that you’ll never really notice on the balance sheet. God is good and wants to bless us if we but submit to His design 🙏🙌
Happy Sunday everyone!
