*solitary hawk
on the second day of fall
his family, flown
When my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
Psalm 27:10 (KJV)
* The Mississippi Kite is a small hawk which lives and hunts in families. These birds arrive in our area every Spring, when insects are plentiful, and fly south the next Fall, when their food supplies dwindle. The bird in the photo must be too old, sick, or injured to join his family, who left for South America about two weeks ago.

The verse you chose for this post is so very comforting. To know we are never truly alone can help us go forward even when it seems we cannot. It gives us peace.

Amen, Betty. No one should ever be forsaken or left behind—unless they’ve done something very bad. Then, they need a time out.🙃

That’s the sad part of nature. I see it with the swans here sometimes.
